I've just got back home and turned the pc on, and i don't see the slave, unlike this morning when i turned the pc on i could see the slave.

Yes they are both on the same IDE 0 primary, the main drive is set as master with the jumper, but the slave is set to cable select because the BIOS wouldn't pick it up when i first installed the drive.

I'll try it again with master/slave jumper settings and also cable select and report back here what happen's.
