The other, more reliable, alternative is to set one drive's jumper to master and the other's to slave. You'll have to remove the existing drive to check, and possibly change, its jumper setting, but the master/slave arrangement is a foolproof approach. The drive in our Dell system was set to cable select, while our iBuyPower system used master/slave settings. In both cases, we set the jumpers to master/slave.

and this is what I keep telling everyone, get rid of cable select and dell while you are at it!

what's your make and model of computer?

sometimes esc gets you past that stupid first screen

[drfsupercenter]

Dell PCs are F12 IIRC. (Mine is at least)

And IMO there's nothing wrong with Dell, they are the same as any PC you would get from HP or Sony etc.

Dell dimention DIM3000
Intel(R)
Celeron(R) CPU 2.66GHz
2.66GHz, 512 mB Ram

[Chewy]

I think the key is F2 right after the keyboard lights flash?

interesting setup tho is this:
Now, there are a few different backup strategies you can follow with your new Dell. You probably know by now that your computer will come with three partitions: a C partition, a 62MB hidden diagnostics partition and a 3Gb hidden Dell pc restore partition (unrelated to Windows XP System Restore).

You will boot to the C partition. You can boot to the diagnostic partition by pressing F12 during BIOS screen. You can do a full Dell pc restore by first shutting down, removing all external devices and then starting up while pressing Ctl + F11 during BIOS screen and holding them untill you hear the beeps and see the restore screens coming up.

[NightTran]

you may to tell me more about this, I did F2 and change to auto, but how do I get out and save the changes?
