The FC is using both disks. The installations was fine before adding the second disk and configuring the master/slave relationship. (though I have been suspecting since I have been here at work that they may be in the wrong order on the IDE cable) I have a Biostar m6tba MOBO that seems to recognize both disks on startup when it runs a quick memory check and I have set the bios to automatically recognize the disks. I recently switched from a slower HP Vectra VL7 in which I had 2 hard drives installed and on which I was running fc1 with no problems.
