Nottinghamshire. Just north of Nottingham itself actually. Whereabouts did you spend time in our green & pleasant county? (if you don’t mind me asking of course!)

Thanks Leif, but no- I just thought Rudi wanted the Gaelic word…

Hey Vamp

I have my DVD-RW on channel 1, set as slave. As long as the removable caddy is empty, then there’s no performance hit. The only time you WILL get performance issues is if you have 2 devices on the same channel. The master device will always take priority over the slave. In my case, having the removable drive is more important than having full performance on the DVDRW all the time. Most time I use it, I make sure that the removable caddy is empty anyway, so it’s not really an issue.

As to why your setup won’t work, I really don’t know. If your BIOS boot order list changes depending on which devices are plugged in, then I can see that would certainly cause problems.

The only other thing I can think of is using your removable caddy is the only bootable device, and just swap boot HDDs as and when. If you wanted another HDD for backups etc, use an internal non-bootable drive.

I have a similar setup at home, but slightly different to yours. I have a hdd fixed into the case set as Master drive on IDE channel 0. As well as that I have a removable caddy in which I can just slot in various drives. These drives are also set as Master drives, but are on channel 1. In the BIOS, my boot order is HDD1, then HDD0. If there is no drive in the removable bay, the internal drive will boot. If a bootbale drive is inserted in the removable bay, then that one will boot. If, however, I place a non-bootable drive in the removable bay (eg for backups), then the system will boot from the internal drive as normal.

The important thing is to have the two drives on separate IDE channels.

Hmmm… very clever young Mister J.

Err…

Yes, very… Since it happened I can’t do the pole vault.

Saying that, I couldn’t do the pole vault before so it’s not too bad a problem.

Never mind having the heart to say anything- he’s got highly-trained attack gerbils, and you quickly learn not to cross a man with killer rodents.

Believe me, I know…

Thank goodness for that! I thought I was doing it wrong too!

D’oh! I was looking for a single word that could be added to all the words in the puzzle! No wonder I was having trouble…!
