Ashley... try not changing the drive to single... leave it as the Master.No can do. hda has three settings on it: Master, Master w/ Slave, and Slave. Since hdb was installed, it's been set to Master w/ Slave (leaving it as Master resulted in hdb not being detected by the BIOS.) Consequently, removing hdb without changing the jumper on hda resulted in the machine not booting because the BIOS expected a slave since hda's jumper was set as such.
( as in "don't change the jumper when removing the second drive")
Mind you, I've played with this a whole lot already, and it just doesn't work with just leaving the jumper alone and not changing it. If I leave it set to Master, the BIOS won't see hdb. If I leave it on Master w/ Slave, the BIOS complains about not seeing a slave (when hdb gets removed.) So I had to change that anyway.
PS: Ashley's a guy.
