i recently uppgraded my HD but i wanted to use them both at the same time but the only way i can get them to work is either independently of each other or for some reason in safe mode but whe i try and boot up normally it hangs jus b4 it would finish loading windows and show the login screen... any ideas on how to fix this?
If they are on the same IDE cable, the one loaded with Windows should connected to the black end connecter and be jumpered as Master and the one connected to the middle grey connecter should be set as Slave. In the BIOS, the boot order needs to be set to boot to IDE-0 first.
alrite i'll give that a try but a couple of things:
they both got windows instaled on them is that a prob?
my ide cable only has one colour but at the mo i have been using it as master on the middle one and slave as the end one but i'll give it a try the other way as well
ill try this all out now then come back and let u kno if it worked
alrite i tried it: set up the ide cable like u said, jumpers are correct, and made sure boot from IDE-0 is done and it still only works in safe mode -otherwise it jus hans the same place as b4
Interesting. So, you said earlier that it works fine with only one drive connected? But not with both? Are you using a 40 pin IDE cable or a 80 pin? What are your system specs? OS, motherboard, power supply, CPU, etc.
