RicoDirenzo Fully Optimized Messages 2,107 Jun 16, 2005 #1 I just purchased a WD Cav. 250 gig SATA. I presume, once installed as the master, any slave added must be in the same configuration (As SATA) and that the IDE 1 slot is. therefore, disabled. ???

When you have a SATA HD and a IDE HD, you set the IDE HD to master, because it will be the only device on it's IDE channel. Wait a little while before you give up on your post Be patient, it will get answered.
