Hi Larry, it would be my guess that being as the CD is all alone (no ZIP drive) on that IDE channel then it would be set to master, so your HD should be set to slave. That said, coming from the PC world, there are often problems with putting a CD as master and a HD as slave. HD's are often picky about working with other devices that are set to master. If it doesn't work that way then reverse the settings, make the HD master and the CD slave. -- Just a message from Doug... -------------------------------------------- http://users.adelphia.net/~slugg0/index.html -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
