Thanks for the feeback guys. I did, however, post a follow up (with
"Forgat it" appended to the original Subject) because my colleague had
told me he'd "read all the help files" which I took to mean the Handbook
& FAQ. Turns out he just meant the *.txt files on CD 1. As Doug pointed
out, the answer is in FAQ 2.25 (he's got the disk as the master on the
second IDE controller).

Thanks again for taking the time to reply.
