Not sure what you are asking..

If you are asking how to run 2 drives there are no links to anything. Its simply a matter of installing 2 physical drives.. install the OS to one drive and FSX to the other

There is no such thing as a 'slave' drive on modern SATA systems. Thats is a term reserved for the old IDE hard drive systems where a CD/DVD and a hard drive (or 2 hard drives) exist on one big ribbon cable

Thats gone with the wind in todays systems

I would never run a performance application or a OS on a IDE hard drive.. only SATA

That makes two of us.

You've answered my question - always simpler when explained by someone who knows.
