No such thing as wrong order on the ide cable, that is the reason for ide master/slave jumpers on ide devices, the device settings not the position on ide cable determine which device is first and which is second.

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.

Is your FC install using both disks? If you remove the second disk, does it work properly?
Are both disks identified correctly in the BIOS?

I have been able to boot from the Fedora CD and go into rescue mode and mount the system under /mnt/sysimage. I assume pico, vi, and emacs all run though I haven't tried them. I was assuming it was a hardware physical configuration error on my part.
I can't remember off hand what partitions are where but I think /boot is
on
hda and FC1 root is probably on /hdb2
