Right, I have tried all the things I can think of.

It does not work if I go back to the first drive only.

I'm trying to add a 2nd Toshiba 6Gb drive. It worked up to the point where I put the 1st drive back in. It booted up ok from the Toshiba, I thought it was a jumper isse too but it doesn't work with the IBM in on it's own now.

Really pissed off with myself, why couldn't I just leave it alone.

I have checked all pins are aligned etc... over and over again. Tried with the original cable and still the same. What confuses me is that it can see the drive but it Uoshiba not Toshiba when it boots.

Do you think I have fried the drives ??? They do spin up ok ???

Cheers

Cris.
