try to put your 3rd (new ) hd on as /dev/hdb.... if it works.. your drive
is good


I've got a volume group over /dev/hdb and /dev/hd3, I'm reluctant to mess with that until I have to ... I'm just trying to get the cdrom working again in isolation first - hopefully the process of doing that will show how to have the new disk show as well ..


try to use your 2nd cable as the cablef or /dev/hda and /dev/hdb


Not quite sure what you mean here ..


-- and last chance...
	- you cannot mix ata33 devices ( cdrom ) w/ ata66/ata100/ata133
	drives  -- the slow cdrom will slow the disk down ...
	and the fast disk will amke the cdrom look invisible and
	they will confuse each other to the controller


Damn that could be an issue with adding the new drive .. but again I'd be happy with just seeing the cdrom by itself again ..


if that's a cdrw vs cdrom, you will need to do more boot/kernel fiddling
with scsi-emulation and not just 'cdrom' issue


It is a cdrw - but it worked with boot/kernel settings as is fine before I started to add the new disk .. no sure why it doesn't work no when I've put everything back in its old configuration ..

cheers again,
Andy.
