Re: good people....anyone please?

Prof,

What are the part numbers for the drives?
Usually Master has lil black jumper and slave has none. Connector position
is usually not a problem but master should be on the endmost connector.

Hi Prof,

XP Service pack 2 is required before you can see the large drive. Is that
loaded?

Hope that helps a little..

Good morning, we are back with a new adventure.

We didn't move the lil plastic jumpers from previous position.

Second drive/slave that was hooked successfully to CD drive cables was
hooked up to grey connector on cable that has black/master.
CD hooked back up to its own cables as before.

Tried to hook it up on master cable, on grey connector in the middle
between mobo and master drive. Got a ntldr error at booting.

Turned machine off, so far only way we can have master/slave/CD are
working is:

master still on its own cable (black connector)
CD hooked up to its own cables of course.
***Important part here: Secondary/slave drive was hooked into the
second black connector on CD drive cable.

Does not show complete size of 250gig. Only shows 127gig.
Also in Windows Explorer does not show name as a drive, only as a
MMC/SD....

Fortunately we had not packed that drive full, for I hesitate we would
not be able to see it.

Professor Joe
