I also want to install a slave drive but what would I have to do? I already formatted it and installed XP Professional on it. I changed the jumpers to Slave, the main drive is on Master. When i boot up it all starts fine and I go to My Computer and there is no other drive. Help!!!!:shoot3:

Now, I'm just taking a very wild guess here, but.....
From what I'm guessing, you've got two HDDs. On the master you've got a copy of Windows 95/98/98SE/ME, and on the Slave you've got XP. When you boot, it loads from the Master (Windows 9x) and when you go to My Computer, you can't see the slave drive (Win XP)... Is that right?
If that is right.. then (again, I'm taking a stab in the dark here) you've probably got your XP drive formatted using NTFS, which can't be read from Windows 9x.

That's my best guess too Beefy.
If that is the case you'll need to use the XP as master cause it will be handling the dual boot process. Of course you'll need to use FAT32 like he pointed out.
But it's all just theory at this point -- awaiting confirmation.The reason a diamond shines so brightly is because it has many facets which reflect light.
