Hi john, You say that you can access the second drive from win XP, But not recognized for ubuntu. First of all, download a program called "Partition Manager", and change that (large disk) hard drive's partition to fat 32X, and make it bootable. Secondly, make sure your jumpers are set to "Master". Next, make sure your second disk (smaller disk)is partitioned the same way, and set your jumpers to "Slave". Install Ubuntu from cd, but make sure the CD is the first boot item in the bios. Ubuntu should now recognize both drives, and actually installs and partitions both drives, so you can use your second drive as a storage or backup drive. Hope this helps.

Status in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Hi, I'm doing a first time install and I'd like to put Ubuntu 8.04 to my (larger) second drive since there is plenty of room there. When I boot into Ubuntu from the CD, everything seems to work except it won't recognize the second hard drive. I don't see it in the file browser or the partitioner. My primary drive is: Seagate ST3120026AS 114439 MB SATA NTFS My Second drive is : Seagate ST3400633AS 381552 MB SATA NTFS The drive is known to be in good working order since I can access it from WinXP. I am running a Dell XPS Gen 2, Intel P4 3GHz, 2 GB SDRAM I read the other postings but none seemed to address this. Thanks very much for your help!!!
