- I've got two IDE drives on my A1200T and from what I remember you
- will have to configure the jumpers on the Quantum to tell it that
- it is the ONLY drive not just that it is the master. Then boot
- (hopefully) and go into HDToolbox, where it will say that your
- set-up has changed, and do you want to save new set-up.
- (Do a backup first tho':-))
-
- P.S. If you've cured your space probs. why do you want to remove
- the other HD?
-
- P.P.S. Did you find that when you added the slave drive the master
- slowed down?
