I realise this is a longshot, but if the PC is running on an NForce motherboard with the Forceware drivers you can examine the IDE controller in Device Manager and it will tell you which device is attached to which channel along with its operating mode.

I'm not sure if it tells you if they are using cable select or if they've been jumpered though.

Can I tell from within the OS (XP Home I think), whether IDE devices are using cable select or master/slave for their configuration? Might save me some time tomorrow ...
