Hello: I tried to ask this question earilier but it was either too dumb or ? I have just installed, formated and setup xp pro on a WD 250 gig Sata. I have an existing 200 gig IDE. Can I install that drive ide pata as a slave on the IDE cable and have the sata drive remain as the boot hd? Or do I need another SATA as a slave. If the IDE dirve is placed in the master position on the ata
cable I presume that XP will look to that drive as the boot master and not the SATA dirve? I'll experiment if no one wants to respond. Thanks! Rick
