Dave,
By saying the following,
*SNIP*
The drive is listed as the secondary master.
*SNIP*
I would say that you have the IDE ribbon cables plugged into the, not
wrong, but oppisite slots on the mother board.
Normal motherboards can only handle 4 IDE drives and there are two buses
for those drives, the primary and the secondary. I would say that you
have your hard drive plugged into the secondary connector on the
motherboard. Switch the CD and hard drive cables on the mother board
and see what happens.
Good luck,
Eric
