The new Cats work great in Windows though i did need to use the driver modder utility to get them to install... The 64 bit version for Suse is entirely another matter - I think I've completely hosed my Suse install. Gonna have to...

I doubt you'll see these until the 64 bit version of XP hits retail or very shortly before hand. You could try emailing Atheros directly and asking for the reference drivers but I suspect you'll be told no. My only other suggestion...

I really think they're flaky sometimes initially... mine did the same thing out of the box and does it every now and again. Keep an eye on it and if it becomes a reoccuring problem call tech support and set up an RMA

BT and Air, Thanks for the replies. BT, I agree with you that my problem likely isn't the Hard Drive at this point. I didn't think it was in the beginning but trying to actually speak with a live person at Pro-Star was like...

Where was the CMOS Battery? I ask so that I can get a general idea in case the folks at Pro-Star tell me I've got yet another bad Hard Drive in my 4750 or find no fault and return it to me. Perhaps the 4750 and the 4780's CMOS battery...
