Hey brett just something I noticed but you seem to post 1 sentence answers a lot and tend to drag out solutions. 'sup with that?
Anywho, ADSL it could be a variety of things. Is it seen in your bios? Is it sata or IDE? if its IDE are the jumpers set correctly? Have you tried using different cable or a different port? Do you have any idea as to what seems to be causing this? what are you doing in between the disconnects and reconnects?
