I presently have it as a Master (Cable Select) on IDE Channel 2 off the
MoBo.
When Vista did recognize it I have a feeling it might have been a Master on
a Promise Ultra133 TX2 card. I know I had to dicker around with channels and
cables and settings so that I could get the darn CD to boot trying to make
Vista see the 300GB. - cables weren't long enough!
It could have been a slave on channel 2 when Vista saw the 127 but I'm not
sure.
If I know me it would have been a Master but I can't quite remember at this
point. Between that and my nVidia card I'm about hardware fried these last
couple of weeks!
