Change it to master since nothing else is on the primary ide connection as master (if there's nothing on the primary ide connection now). Also you have connected a spare power connection to this ME hdd havent you?? And connected it to a IDE connection, and cofigured it in BIOS to either master or slave??	Speedy Gonzales (78)

I've only done this in Linux, and it manages to pick up IDE drives, even though the BIOS "doesn't know" they are there. This worked for me, thanks Graham L :o) While there is an IDE anywhere as slave OR master the bios puts it first and tries to get it to boot, on mine calling it HDD 0 and then the SCSI gets HDD 1, this means it wont boot from the SCSI drive. By telling my BIOS there were no IDE drives the SCSI gets HDD 0 and away she goes. Once windows boots it then sees both the CDROM and the IDE HDD which comes up as D:\ drive.
