I have 2 HDD connected the 60Gb is partition in 2 one for the system and the
other for all the programs and the other 200Gb for the data, so I had no choice
but to set the 60Gb to Master and the 200Gb to slave

Yes, I'm using 80 wires cable for all IDE device and the driver is in UltraDMA
mode 5 for both drives and in UltraDMA mode 2 for the DVD and DVD-+RW, and the
driver is the one that came with XP

Thank you in Advance
Merci a l'Avance
