Subject: RE: Tech: lost hard drive ?
Hi Geoff,

Ideally you should instal your hardware as follows

Primary IDE:- Hard drive as primary master, CD as primary slave.
Secondary IDE:- Hard drive as secondary master, DVD as secondary slave.

In each case this will work best with the hard drive at the end of the ribbon cable.

Also go into BIOS setup, and, and make sure that all four IDE channels are set to AUTO, as you quite often find that they are set by default to NONE.

That should work, but bear in mind that it may change your drive letters.

All I can tell you for sure is that it worked for me.

Let us know if it does, please.

Regards
Don T.
