The whole purpose of "cable select" is to auto-configure multiple drives. As for letting it die, there is no Master/Slave/CS on SATA drives because they're only one drive per channel, thus all are "Master". I use cable select on every IDE drive I put in any machine (including optical drives). Never had a problem. You've gotta remember to use proper 80 pin cables. Black = "master", gray = "slave", blue = motherboard and set your bios to "Auto" if you plan on switching drives fairly often. -- Darryl [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://smartssa.com / http://darrylclarke.com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
