[QUOTE="68Impala, post: 1522569, member: 305008"] [b]Good and not-so-much...[/b] Thanks for the tips! I've just splashed on a new combo cable on ePray just because I found the money ($15 w/shipping), but the master/slave question is puzzling me. The SATA drive has no such jumper; when I tried moving the jumper on the IDE drive between all three positions, nothing happened; computer didn't / doesn't recognize the old drive...which is why I went and got the cable just in case. I'm open to any other ideas you have, though! I've powered up and down 11 times to check connections and to move the jumper to each of the 3 positions, but to no avail yet. Both still get power, but only the 'new' drive with the adaptor is being read and working. Cheers, Chuck (P.S. 4 years stationed at RAF Upper Heyford, Oxon: 1979-'83 - Best years of my service!)
