Nope - this is a CD-ROM drive dependant issue (only a firmware update would fix this "issue" and they are generally not released for CD ROM drives). Because the CD ROM is an IDE drive (an educated guess because you don't actually say) then the IDE drive light is coming on because a CD (an IDE device) is being read. The CD ROM light is coming on when it does because that's the way the drive was designed... >It is just a small problem, but annoying nonetheless :) > >Thanks for any help. > >Quentin. ====================================================================== Murray Shields Email: murray @ globalcat.com.au Global Catalogs Pty Ltd WWW: http://www.globalcat.com.au Brisbane Australia Phone: +61 7 3351 4777 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Professional Internet Services for Business: Retail Web Catalogs, Web Design, Corporate Email Delivery, Inhouse Web Servers and Consultancy. ======================================================================
