That gets really interesting - for weeks now I had to wrestle with similar symptoms in a slighly different setup, namely a CF-card adapter as slave on the second IDE channel: the moment a flash-card is inserted there (and duely recognized by the BIOS), Linux does not want to see the Secondary Maste

How about a few more details? 1. What is the size of the new drive in GB? 2. How old is your BIOS? Windows has a 138 GB size limit for hard disks. Linux does not, but some BIOSes might have a limit similar to that of Windows, and that might affect the boot process. 3. On the BIOS drive display
