Is there any trick to getting Ontrack to work with multiple large disks? It works fine on a single 4 GB Fireball or a single 250 GB WD Caviar, but I can't get it to detect both the Fireball and Caviar at the same time.

I've tried them on different ATA channels, master/slave, etc.

Found out that the 4 GB Quantum is actually supported in the BIOS without Ontrack at all, even though it doesn't show up correctly in the BIOS (shows as a 10 MB hard drive but appears fine from a boot disk). Tentatively I think it's working in this configuration:

540 MB Quantum (primary master)
4 GB Fireball (primary slave)
250 GB Caviar (secondary master)
CD ROM (secondary slave)

I had to go into Ontrack and update the MBR for it to detect.
