Hi,

My PC has two separate hard drives 1 SATA drive (from which the PC
boots, has the OS and everything else) and 1 ATA drive which I use to
store files, music, and back up the former.

The ATA drive is not jumpered and therefore is set as a 'slave' could
this be the reason that when I 'hibernate' my PC this drive disappears
when she returns to life, both in Device Manager and Windows
Explorer .. completely missing ... takes a full reboot to bring it
back ... should I jumper the ATA drive to be a master??

Apologies -Running XP Home


Whether it should run as master or slave depends on the other item on that particular IDE channel.
Which is what?
