RE: Install problem

[Polashek, Matthew]

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.

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.

This is true most of the time. I have worked on some HP PC's that have
their IDE cables marked MASTER and SLAVE. The drive plugged into the
MASTER end of the cable is a MASTER, regardless of it's jumpers.

Jeeze!  I love that sort of stuff.  Kinda like IBM's tweak of the
floppy cable, assuming people were incapable of changing the jumper
on the floppy.  "Ship them all jumpered as drive 1, the put a funky
twist in the cable to swap DS0 and DS1 on the end connector."  Sheesh!
