If Win2000 has correctly detected your drive, then there is no need to do anything in your BIOS, because your BIOS would have needed to configure it beforehand - so for Win2000 to have found it, the BIOS must also have automatically detected it correctly.

47780 2002-05-08 21:46:00 Go into CMOS setup and the drives might be on auto,ie. when you start it detects drives. You can set these manually to start up slightly quicker, If you have a category in BIOS IDE detection go to that and type Yes for the correct drives, then the CMOS should show you the drive user defined, cylinders etc.

If its on auto you really don't need to do anything, but make sure that one drive is set to MASTER and the other SLAVE via their jumpers.
