I know the trick with the WD HD's about master/slave/no jumper depending on where it's at on the cable :). And yea, the bios is picking up on it no prob. UDMA 66. I guess I can try a standard cable, but the problem is I'm going to be going back and forth between Windows and BSD and I don't want to have to keep switching out the cables when I change OS's :). Just FYI...it hangs on the 40G ATA100 drive too. ===== <--------------------------------------------------------------->
