As far as the CD & DVD drives, you might try switching which one is jumpered as master, and visa versa to the slave. Glenn ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kyrath.

However, I'm curious as to why my harddrive is being assigned hdb instead of hda. In addition, linux, and windows for that matter, are unable to detect my HP cd-rw drive if the Matshita dvd drive is connected. Does anyone have any idea of why the Matshita and HP won't get along on the same ide cable? I suppose that I could connect one the cd drives with the harddrive, but that would require purchasing a new cable. The one that connects the harddrive is too short to reach the cd drives. -- Rob _______________________________________________ Speakup mailing list Speakup at braille.uwo.ca http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup
