The second drive is recognised if it's in place when the machine boots but not if I plug it in when Linux is running. It is recognised as hdc which is the same device as the DVD drive although they obviously can't be used at the same time but I'd rather it was hdb. Can I configure 'something' so that it comes up as hdb?
It will be called "hdc" because it is the master device on the 2nd IDE channel. CDs and DVDs will be mounted from \dev\hdc while HD partitions will be \dev\hdc1 \devhdc2 etc. Are you sure you want to mess with that?
I don't know about hot-plugging.
