I just bought a new seagate 80GB HD. I wanted to test it out and installed it with single and limited jumper setting since my bios won't recognize it w/o being limited. After I installed the seagate overlay, it boots up with this. This works fine.

My problem is that I want to use my old 13GB HD as a slave, but when I hook it up as a slave to my computer, my bios doesn't recognize either HD anymore because of the overlay program. I can't even boot up to my old HD anymore when I set it up as a single and there's important data on it!

Is there any way to use my new HD as master and old HD as slave without upgrading my bios? Is there a way to get rid of the seagate overlay without losing the data on my old hd?

Thanks a lot!

You will have to change the jumper from 'single' to 'Master'.

For my HD, single and master are the same jumper setting. I think the problem is w/ the overlay program.

Thanks again!

Configure your 80gb. as the "Master",and change the jumpers on the 13gb to the "Slave" run cmos setup and ide detection.
