No!! thats the annoying thing. The 6gb drive is not showing up as a detected drive, even when I swap them around and make the 6 a master and the 4 as slave, it still doesnt work. But when I place the 6 and 2 or 4 and 2, the 2g always is detected as a secondary drive. The only thing I can think of..is that the two OS's are negating each other, there both tryign to boot up as the Master..maybe? Not sure about that because they should be running on the ide cable jumper switch as who is M/s. Now Im gun shy about trying to fdisk and format the 6g drive because I dont want the eternal loop asking about the book disk thing to start up again. Its sorta...got them working again, dont mess with it and screw it up. *L*
