my buddie just put this computer together and its a p4 2.8 ghz with a asus mobo, and it has a ata/100 ide hdd. now where our problem is, is that when we go to start the system up, it is being dual booted with win98 and RH 8.0we are getting this drive not ready error. and my first thought was i think these things run at 66 mbps why the hell would it say the drive is not ready? so i uninstalled win98 from it and tried it again thinking maybe it was a windows prob, nope its still doing it with only linux on it. so i looked around on the net for some answears and i thought i had found it when this guy was taking about how he had the same problem, he said on this bbs to go to the BIOS and adjusting the timer delay to allow the systme more time to boot up, so i did that, and i still got nothing, the jumpers are placed right, both on cable select and theres power, i did the whole nine yards as far as trouble shootong, and i still have nothin. so if anyone can help or any ideas would be greatly appreciated. thanx in advance.
