What is interesting is that the Interesting. I never trusted "cable select" because I go back a long way to when it was considered very unreliable, so until recently I always set up systems with one master and one slave. When I took the hard drive off of IDE1 and put it onto IDE0, I noticed that hda was already jumpered CS, (cable select) but hdc was jumpered MA (master). I changed to to CS when I put it on IDE0 (and made it into hdb). One interesting thing, which I wouldn't think would matter but it might, is that the CD-ROM drive is jumped as SL (slave), but it's at the *end* of the cable, where if it were jumped CS it would it would be the master. Tomorrow if I have some time I'll try changing the CD-ROM to cable select to see if that helps, but I don't see how it could since both the hard drives are now on the other controller. -- "To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or that we are to stand by the president, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." -- Teddy Roosevelt
