Andrew,
Unless there is an operating System On the CURRENT Slave drive, I would not recommend
the change you're attempting. The Master Jumper tells windows which drive to look
for for the Boot sector. At the very least you'll have to go into the BIOS and change
the Boot Drive to #2 HDD.
Post back with what you are trying to accomplish with this HDD switch.
