Yea, you can set the HD to slave or cable select. The BIOS should automatically boot from the slave device if the master is not bootable. You can also change the search order in BIOS settings. Actually I misspoke in my other post, the master/slave setting doesn't matter for performance, but having two devices on the same bus could cause slower performance generally when accessing both at the same time. In practice, it might not make a difference since the bus is a good deal faster than either device alone.
