Yes, I guess that would have been polite to have provided more details.
Sorry.

These are WD Caviar IDE drives, one around 200, the other around 500,
master/slave jumpers correctly set, running as single drive off IDE channel
#2 on a P1 (socket 7) motherboard. Running Win95 "A". The BIOS
autorecognizes both drives.

Thanks for any input
Manney
