I would recommend against WD drives, Slow, noisy, and unreliable IMHO. Go with an IBM 60 GXP or Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 60, $138 + $8 shipping from newegg: <http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProduct.asp?submit=manufactory&catalog=14&manufactory=1304> > The > motherboard has two ide > connectors and two cables.

Almost all drives ship with the jumpers in the "master" setting. Use IDE bus 0 (the one furthest away from the processor), and just leave the jumper in place Alex MacLeod __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
