Ok - the Remove a Disk Configuration you refer to is part of the web interface. Without access to that you can't change the disk configuration.

I suggest you return to the original configuration: i.e. two 80Gb disk. You need to install the original disks the same jumper configuration as they had, and then attempt to boot the system. if you can get that to work then change the disk configuration from the web interface, power down and install the new disk as slave and restart. Then we'll see where we have got to.

Note: the operating system is stored on the first HDD in the system - you MUST get this working, or nothing will boot. Are you absolutley sure you know which of the two 80Gb disks is which?

Note also: some units use Cable Select rather than Master/Slave. Be sure you know which to use, and in the case of Cable Select, plug the drives into the cable in the correct order.

Good luck!
