I thought you were talking about an ide hard disk? The hdc=ide-scsi refers to a cdrom or cd-rw at hdc, because you have to use scsi-emulation to burn cds.
If it was indeed a hdd, then you do not want that statement. If it's just left over from the old cd-rom, just remove it. It sounds to me as though the hdd may not be formatted. Have you tried going into mcc > mount points and seeing if there is a tab there. I wouldn't be surprised to find that it is recognised as being physically there, but not yet in a state to be mounted. If that is so you can partition/format it from there, set the mount points, and all should be well. Anne
