Ah, right. Like Norman, I'm a bit of an old-timer (/pace/, Norman!), and was used to setting jumpers on IDE drives for masters and slaves; so I guess I just transferred this habit to SATA, and assumed it was a hardware thing there, too. Never thought of checking for BIOS settings when the drives were installed! Doh!
