Does it make any difference in performance if the HD is Master or Slave. Would I get better performance from the 40G HD if it were mounted as Master on the Second IDE?
It shouldn't. However, in my case, if I connect the HD and the CDrom on the same cable, the HD is slower, it drops to udma2 instead of udma5 (because the cdrom only suports udma2, I think). So, you should try diferent setups - you can boot the rescue system from the CD in each case - and check what hdparm -i /dev/hd? says. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
