Hi Ken,
I have the 80meg as the master and the 2.5 gig as the slave on
the same ide primary. But the problem is when it tries to boot up for
installation and the probing for the wdcX just can't find either drive,
not even the master. Would this be a problem? I could try to put the
2.5gig drive on the secondary channel. Also, does this have anything to
do with DMA? I am jjust not a hardware person.
