>1. make sure you have 80wire cables, like spidey suggested
Yes, both of my cables are 80 wires.
BTW, a question about it. Manual says: "Old 40 wires cables will not work". And i know that 80 wires cable is designed for ATA100 devices. For other devices it does not make difference whether i use 80 or 40 wires cable. So can i use 40 wires cable for CD-ROM and ZIP drive (if i connect them together and put on one channel)?
>2. make sure you have set the bootimage partition with FFS to >NON-BOOTABLE
Thanks, probably this is my problem. I set it to BOOTABLE.

For me it sometimes helps. somtimes not.
>But when >you see Quark starting then HD is spinned up fine already.
Of couse.
If i can start kernel from HD, it means that firmware sees it this time and it is spinned up.
