I recently purchased a second SATA drive for my comp. The
original config had me booting from a SATA drive and using
an IDE drive as my secondary for extra space. My new config
was to be the SATA1 as boot and SATA2 as my extra storage
(both nonraid) and i want to remove the IDE drive
When booting with the SATA1 as primary hdd and SATA2 2nd
IDE 3rd, Windows gives me a hard drive config error and
resufses to boot, but when the config is SATA1, IDE, SATA2,
win xp will boot but hangs before loading. I also recieve
the same error when i remove the IDE drive and try to boot
with two independent SATA drives (which i heard is hard,
but its what i want ) The SATA driver and raid controller
are both working and installed, the SATA1 drive is my C:
drive which win xp was installed onto. Also the comp wont
boot with only my SATA1 drive in it, and having both drives
boot from a raid does not work either...
Thanks for any help
