Using an old PIII-500 box I was finally able to get it running once I reconfigured some of the hardware. Once I got that running I started hammering on my my new Gateway. The issue I appear to be having on my other 3 machines is that they all, if I'm not mistaken, is they all have SATA drives. When I plugged an IDE DVD into the gateway it booted. Unfortunately it is not seeing *ANY* of my 3 SATA devices. I've had similar problems with my Acer laptop. I'm currently doing a backup of one of my old IDE backup hard drives so I can plug that in and see if that will work. Can you give us a link to your ISO's for us to try?
