I am trying to install a Seagate 6.5Gb drive as a second HD on my PC.
I am connecting it to the CD Drive data cable, as the the second connector
on my primary hard drive data cable will not reach it. I set  the jumper to
primary on the HD and to slave on the CD Drive. The BIOS auto detects the
new drive correctly (6506MB) but when I use the Seagate Disk Manager it
tells me that the size of the HD is only 540(I think)MB. At this stage I
exit the setup process and reset the CMOS so only the primary drive is
present. When I reboot the PC however it does not boot to Windows until I
physically disconnect the new HD.

Please advise.
