1. Check and make sure you are running the lastest firmware for your machine. If this is a Sawtooth G4 it is important because the firmware that shipped had poor TDM support.
2. If this is a new HD. Make sure that the jumper on the HD is set to master. Also make sure that the HD is plugged into the last connector on the cable. Alternatively, set the jumper to CS and put the HD on the last connector on the cable.
StingMe: TDM on the sawtooth only works when you have a drive connected to the master connector on the primary IDE cable. So SATA or any third party card support. The G5s are a lot better than the G4s at this. The G5s will share out both hard drives and the optical drive via TDM.
