[sac-forum] Re: Astronomy Software: Celestia

Yesterday I finally got my Voyager III in the mail, over 9 months after
Carina Software said it would be available and I sent my money. Now all
I have to do is get my Windows 2000 installed on my new removable drive,
and I will install Voyager III on it. Right now the Windows III setup is
claiming it cannot find a hard drive, even though I used Fdisk to
partition it. I suspect it is because I have it plugged into a ATA/100
controller card for PCI and this is what is confusing it. I'll try
plugging the hard drive back into the motherboard.
