I have a crahsed hard drive that I could mount with DSL, BUT when I installed a second hard drive to copy files from the crashed HD to the new one DSL will only recognize the HD on the primary master IDE controller. The secondary HD on the IDE controller was ignored.

Is there a reason to this? Has anyone mounted more than one HD?

I tried manually mounting the hard drive but had no luck, I got a message saying something about maximum mount points.

Thanks for your help!

Not much help, but yes, DSL can do more than one HD. I've had 2 hd and 2 cdrom working just fine with DSL before, so it is possible.

Check the jumpers on the drives, make sure they're properly set up for master/slave
