Forgive me if I am way off on this as I have joined the thread half way through.

From what I understand you have an SATA drive with XP on it and a CD drive
attached via IDE. And you want to connect a PATA (ide) hard drive to the machine
to put Ubuntu on as dual boot?

If that is the case you will probably have to change some of the jumpers on the
ide devices themselves. You should set the jumpers on the hard drive (ide) to
master, and the jumpers on the CD drive to slave. Then connect the ide hard
drove to the first connection on the cable and the CD drive to the second
connection point.

When you then boot the machine, enter the BIOS (del, F2 or whatever your machine
needs) and make sure that the devices are being recognised correctly as master
and slave. Then proceed with the installation as described by others in the
thread.

Hope that helps.

Have you connected it as a master drive into the new pc? On the same channel as the cd drive.

I have connected it as a slave on the same channel as the CD drive. Preliminary tests suggest that windows is not very happy.

One thing that might throw a spanner in the works is I believe you are running 2000 on the drive as well? If so then I most likely will not work on the new pc without running a windows repair.

No, the old drive has XP.
