Ah, OK.
It looks like the main drive may have 2 jumper switches on there, and the
new 2nd hard drive currently has 1. So, from what you're saying, it sounds
like I could remove the switch on the 2nd hard drive.

Ah, you're making me hungry. ;-)
>The jumper settings are also usually ON the actual hard drive itself
>(the label on the top), and sometimes not in the documentation at all...
Ah, you mean it might actually be right in front of my nose and I missed
it?!.... (pause while I go look)
Well, rats.. nothing there but serial numbers... although maybe that's just
their code that you have to crack to figure out the jumper switch settings. ;-)
OK. Well, thanks for sending me your thoughts here. I appreciate it.
