But is it possible you have your hard disk > plugged in differently? I found I had to plug my IDE cables in _upside down_ on one box for the drives to be detected. No idea what happened there but it worked so I left it. I do now what way up they're supposed to be, I've done plenty of this sort of thing before. Very strange. Maybe the plug was in the motherboard upside down too? I didn't investigate in case it stopped working. Good thing IDE have "idiot diodes" so they don't burn up when they're in upside down. > > >From master primary bus to master secondary bus? ad0 to ad3 for example? > > I'd > > look at the boot messages for what is the hard disk being detected as and > compare with what was? > > Maybe somebody else has come across this before though and could offer more > insight...
