Hi, Is the drive not still jumpered to be a master or single drive? I would imagine that you went into the BIOs and did an detect hard drives. You could also maybe try to disable the secondary ide controller and see if that makes a difference.

Please help me get back my /home partition, I got some useful information there. If all else fails you could always change it back to being a secondary master like before.
