Quick HD setup question

[sd]

I have a raptor thats gonna be my primary drive, and a IDE IBM 30GB that'll be for storage. I know the raptor will be SCSI and boot before the IBM. Will the be jumper be set to Master or Slave, and will it be set to HDD0 or HDD1?

The Raptor is a SATA (Serially-attached ATA), not SCSI. It has no jumpers to speak of; each drive is independent.

Your IBM drive will most likely be the master drive on your primary IDE channel.

yes I know its a SATA, but in the BIOS of my Asus A7N8X-E Deluxe it'll be set to SCSI.

Anyone else, please?

SATA drives do not have jumpers to set them as masters or slaves, since SATA channels only support one drive per channel.

If you want to boot off your Raptor, you'll need to set its boot priority in your BIOS to make it the first hard drive.
