As the other responder pointed out, SATA is strictly one-device-per-port scheme. If your friend has two drives connected, then they're connected and there's no issue about configuring the drives or jumpers or any such old-fashioned silliness (SCSI notwithstanding...). So if only one drive is seen by Linux, then possible reasons are: 1) One SATA port is broken. 2) One drive is broken. 3) There are disparate SATA interfaces on the mainboard and only one is supported or recognized or properly activated. 4) There could be a BIOS configuration issue preventing one SATA port from operating. > thanks > jdd Randall Schulz -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
