I think that cable select would take dvd as master and hdd as slave.
This was not preferable when hdd was my primary drive. I can try cable-select now since I boot off new SATA drive.

Does the BIOS see the HD on the jmicron when doing disk detection?

I remember once forgetting to connect power to a driver and spending a
while wondering why the drive wasn't showing up anywhere.

Yes, both drives are detected by BIOS. Everything is working fine with "old" ATA drivers (ide_disk/ide_cd).

IDE HDD Maxtor was my primary disk but I've recently bought new SATA disk and was trying to get rid of ATA.

Thank you,
