I hope someone can help me with this...
I am having trouble copying files from one hard drive to another.  I keep
getting the message that the drive I am trying to copy to is READ ONLY...I
have the 160 GB SATA Seagate drive installed as my primary hard drive, and a
second Ultra ATA 160 GB installed on IDE as slave to the optical drive.... i
notice i cannot directly copy files in explorer from one hard drive to the
other. The drives are marked "read only" in explorer and I cannot change that
setting. Well, I can change it but the second I hit ok, then go back to
properties, there it is again "read only."  I have no trouble copying from
CD/DVD to either drive or from the internet to my harddrives.  But, simply
cannot copy from one hard drive to another because it keeps it READ ONLY.  

Thanks ahead of time for your help!

Try HD as Master and Optical as Slave.
