You probably have your main drive (C:) as the master on the primary interface, and your second drive (D:) as the master on the secondary interface. hda and hdb are the master and slave on the primary IDE interface, and hdc and hdd are the master and slave on the secondary IDE interface. That there was no hdb listed won't actually cause you any problems. -- Mike Burger http://www.bubbanfriends.org Visit the Dog Pound II BBS telnet://dogpound2.citadel.org or http://dogpound2.citadel.org:2000 To be notified of updates to the web site, send a message to: site-update-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx with a message of: subscribe -- Shrike-list mailing list Shrike-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/shrike-list
