Sure it helps. I did see that issue, but didn't know enough to know whether 
that was abnormal. I can see where that could cause problems in the early 
boot process, if it is seeing two drives as the same drive, in effect... I'm 
going to start a new SATA thread on this, and see if any responds. Could just 
be I've found a SATA bug...
