strange...  it installed just fine on my IDE system...  i've got a P200 comp
w/ a 2.1gig Quantum IDE hard drive...  never had a single error...  i've
talked to other people w/ similar problems, however, and it ended being a bad
motherboard... he couldn't even install windoze on it! (he tried just to test
the system...not to use! : ^ )
