thanks Steve, I had already studied all of your guides (and thank you for all of that effort).
Maybe I didn't make myself clear...the 1st install recognized my sata drive as drive 0. My second 'special' UL install recognized my ata drive as drive 0.
Do you know the typically heirarchy of ata and sata drives?

also HT....just browsing here for the past month has raised a question I would like addressed.
That is; does Ulead recognize that there are some major (IMO) issues with PI and that the support needs to be improved?

Reference the issues you have found may I suggest you place a suitable entry in this post:

Regarding the Hard Drive issue I only have IDE drives - I've also plugged in external USB and firewire drives but they can be disregarded.

With IDE Drives very briefly what I do with a new hard drive which I wish to install as an operating system, I remove the Power lead to all other drives so that only the new drive is working. I then Install the Operating system and any programs I require. That drive will take drive letter C.

I then reconnect the other drives.

Now using the BIOS boot sequence, whichever drive I choose to boot from will take on drive letter C and the operating system installed on that drive is the active operating system and completely independant of any other hard drives/operating systems. This enables me to read/write to any other hard drives as though they are simply DATA drives irrespective of whether or not they also contain an operating system.
