cant u set up ur WD with windows (whatever flavor)
with all ur drivers and stuff then install the IBM drive as master and the WD as slave then in bios set first boot device to IDE 1 IBM = IDE 0 = Master WD = IDE 1 = Slave not perfect but it shoud work "ddtl" this.is@invalid wrote in message ...

Unable to detect HDs when second HD is connected

It doesn't help, because HD is not detected at all - when you enter a BIOS setup, it says that no HDs present, so it doesn't even give you an option to set a boot device, because there is none. ddtl. cant u set up ur WD with windows (whatever flavor) with all ur drivers and stuff then install the IBM drive as master and the WD as slave then in bios set first boot device to IDE 1 IBM = IDE 0 = Master WD = IDE 1 = Slave not perfect but it shoud work "ddtl" this.is@invalid wrote in message .. .
