Thanks for the tip. I think I misunderstood what
Legacy meant :) As a matter of fact, I don't see
the hard drives in the BIOS anywhere! I know the
company that put the computer together said they
got XP running on it, so I tend to think it worked at
one point. I'm downloading RedHat 8 right now
to see if that will recognize the drives.
