Re: hard drives



I seem to recall that way back (around 1994, 1995) I found that with a Tekram IDE
card (set up as secondary IDE controller) I could only see the last drive if I
had it primary on the controller, with the CD as slave. It might be the IDE
controller causing you grief - although I'm surprised if that still applies with
modern hardware.
