Did you get the write protected message when you booted up in Linux? If so, it sounds like you installed your A drive as the primary master in your PC. You need to install the A drive as secondary master, the B drive as primary slave, the CD-ROM as secondary slave, and the original Windows drive as primary master. If you are not performing a backup or restore, the Windows drive does not need to be installed and the CD-ROM can be set up as primary master. If you don't already have it, get a copyt of Hinsdale's How Tos and MFS Tools 2.0 for adding a 2nd drive. The download links are on page 3 of the How Tos Only thread or you can download them from 9th Tee.
