Try flipping the IDE channels...I.E. if you have it on primary-slave, switch it to secondary-slave/secondary-master. Plug in what was there into where your CD used to be. If your comp doesn't see the CD, best bet would be that the CD is screwy, if it doesn't see whatever you plugged in that spot that isn't your CD, then odds are that that IDE spot is screwy...

I have a dodgy IDE controller... the secondary master is a little bit... odd. Not broken as such, just... odd.

Uh huh.

Netiquette tip for y'all- don't post stoned, unless you're willing and able to share.:wink:

I had to fix someone's comp...she had a CD that didn't want to be secondary slave...kinda that whole idea

And here I was hoping we'd never see Stryke again..... foiled again.

How many polys did it end up at anyhow?

See, Shrike here, he's so smart, he's gone beyond simple math and reading comprehension, and doesn't use either anymore.

Well, now all I have to do is figure out how to make this frame go away, and I'll be set. Remind me never to use gratuitous frames on a page and then set it to my homepage again.

Never use gratuitous frames on a page and then set it to your homepage again.

You mentioned 'ten times the poly count' but not the original polycount.

And here I was hoping the same thing....that his comp had actually died.

Alikchi: What I suggest you do is double-check the following:

1. That the jumper on the device is set properly.
2. That the ribbon cable is installed properly. (ie: inserted fully and pin1 oriented on the right side, facing the power connector)
3. That no other device on the chain has a jumper set to the same setting or single-drive setting.

1) I thought that too, but he said it always used to work, and suddenly it died... so unless someone messed with the jumper, it should be set right.

2) I thought that too, but he said it always used to work, and suddenly it died... so unless someone messed with the ribbon cable (IDE cable) , it should be set right.

Just so you (??) know, I'm gonna go ahead and buy another drive today

Shrike: 102020 times 10 makes what? I don't think we need call in CP.

[Shrike]

Now it makes sense.  For some reason I wasn't equating lathe steps with a set number of polys per step.
