yeah.. i will do that i don't know.. i have an 80 that i'm using right now as master and a 40 as slave right now.. and what i planned to do was run the sata as master and partition it into 130gb and 120gb.. but unfortunately it didn't work out so.. i am thinking on getting the ide ata/133 and just run that and either run it with the 80gb or 40gb. if i do end up running the 40gb then i will have to give the 80gb to my younger bro who has 2 40gbs... but yeah i'll have to ask you guys again about SATA because my older brother just bought a computer from his friend and its a 150 sata maxtor and none of the driver disc/disk came with it.. so yeah i'll hit you guys back sometime this coming up week... thank you very much
