When you set up the primary drive as master, did you set the secondary drive (Quantum 127) as slave? If that didn't work, try using the "cable select" option.

After partitioning the HDD, you formatted it, didn't you?

you did copy the sys. files to the hdd when you formatted it didn't you? can you get to them from a boot disk? and do a sys c: at the a:\, did you change the hdd jumper setting and the drive config. in your bios? what operating system are you useing? did you manualy chose bios settings or did you use auto select? did you use the auto dect. section on you bios setup screen?
