I tried that configuration, but when I put the HD on primary I just get the same error replacing "secondary" with "primary." I also tried letting the cable select and just got the same error. The message goes away after a few seconds and boot continues. I don't think that this is directly causing an problems but I'm having difficulties getting my OS up and running and so would like to be should all my hardware is in correctly. I have a new IBM Deskstar HD and an Abit KT7A motherboard. My pin setting options are (with 16 or 15 head): device 0 (master), device 1 (slave), cable select, forcing device 1 present. (with 32GB clip or auto spin disable): [the same options]. Does it matter how many head I claim? What does 32GB clip mean? I've tried just about all the master or cable select options I could and didn't fix it. Could've I messed something up in the BIOS to get this? I reset defaults once. Any suggestions?
