Hey all:

I built my computer and everything seems to be working fine. However, I found one thing that does seem odd. I have two hard drives on IDE 1 a master and slave. The master is the system drive and the slave a backup drive. When my system accesses the system drive both Hard drive lights light up. Shouldn't only the light with the drive being accessed light up. It does the same for IDE 2 where I have my Sony DVD super drive as master and my DVE drive as Slave. I just thought it strange. I doesn't seem to affect anything performance wise.

Thanks for any input.

System Specs:
MB: P4DC6+
CPUs: Dual Xeon 2.4GHZ
RAM: 1 Gig
OS: Windows XP Pro
HDD: 3 80 Gig Seagate drives with removable racks
