[pchelpers] Re: fdisk /mbr

Hi Don

Glad to hear you've got your harddisks working. Let me
make a guess...you finally plugged the right ends of
the cable to the correct hard drives! Using CS or
'cable select' you can let the bios select your master
or slave based on the positions your cable is plugged
into the hard drives. 

Or a combination of all you did! 

Just guessing. §:^)

Tonia
