The FC is using both disks. The installations was fine before adding the second disk and configuring the master/slave relationship. (though I have been suspecting since I have been here at work that they may be in the wrong order on the IDE cable) I have a Biostar m6tba MOBO that seems to recognize both disks on startup when it runs a quick memory check and I have set the bios to automatically recognize the disks.
I recently switched from a slower HP Vectra VL7 in which I had 2 hard drives installed and on which I was running fc1 with no problems.

Is your FC install using both disks? If you remove the second disk, does it work properly? Are both disks identified correctly in the BIOS?

I can't remember off hand what partitions are where but I think /boot is
on
hda and FC1 root is probably on /hdb2

No such thing as wrong order on the ide cable, that is the reason for ide master/slave jumpers on ide devices, the device settings not the position on ide cable determine which device is first and which is second.

This is true most of the time. I have worked on some HP PC's that have their IDE cables marked MASTER and SLAVE. The drive plugged into the MASTER end of the cable is a MASTER, regardless of it's jumpers.

Jeeze! I love that sort of stuff. Kinda like IBM's tweak of the floppy cable, assuming people were incapable of changing the jumper on the floppy. "Ship them all jumpered as drive 1, the put a funky twist in the cable to swap DS0 and DS1 on the end connector."
