Two hard drives can be designated as Master-Master or Master-Slave depending on the computer bios and motherboard configuration. Most all computers in the past six years will allow the dual configuration. However all older computers like the Master-Slave configuration or the Mirrored Array. In a Mirrored Array both drives act as one Master. What data is on one is written on both. I strongly suspect you need to make one a master and one a slave. AND tell your bios you are runing a master-slave set up.
HOWEVER, in a Mirrored Array, both drives need to be the same storage size and sometimes even the same brand. It's not a job for the weak minded. That said, I honestly don't think there is a weak mind in this group. You people do things with your computers that is not in the books. I would Master-Slave that puppy if it was me. Drop the drive name and model number into your Google search engine to find the pin allotment for a slave drive if it isn't printed on the back where you plugged the scsi cable in. Tell your bios you are running a Master-Slave so it will recognize it. always Barb http://www.BarbieLee.com "Model Makers" "A Change of Heart" "The Alchemist" ask for them at your favorite book store -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
