The storage HD is set as master. That sounds wrong to me; I am wondering if I should switch that around. primary IDE channel.


Hmm correct your system disk should be on the primary IDE and set as master, you storage disk should be Primary>Slave and your DVD Secondary>Master if you have another optical drive that should be Secondary>Slave ... unless you do a lot of recording in which case it is better to have the DVD recorder set on Primary>Slave <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

But hey I am just an old guy pottering around with PC's although I must admit that out of the 5 comps that I am surrounded with only 3 work <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" /> but we shall persevere <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
