Help please, adding 2nd drive...
Hello-
HP Pavilion a1310n, using XP Home. This PC came with a 200g hard drive - 190g as drive C- NTFS, the rest (10g) as drive D recovery, Fat32. This drive is SATA... I have a 40g, 7200, ATA drive I tried adding on but for some odd reason boot up is incredibly slow - a minute or so just to get to the Windows splash screen... I believe the jumpers are set right, as it had not booted at all. Also, BIOS is set properly to recognize C as the boot drive.. Any ideas what may be slowing things down or where to double check... I apologize for the cross-post as I am unsure where the issue lies... thank you! -- B'rgds, Vinnie |

Perhaps the ATA drive is faulty?
How have you jumpered it? What do you see in Disk Management - once PC has booted "Uncle Vinnie" wrote in message ... Hello- HP Pavilion a1310n, using XP Home.

Not knowing where you posted from, I have done so to a.c.h. I doubt the jumpers are set correctly. You didn't bother to specify the drive manufacturers, types, etc. and the jumper settings on each. How do you know the bootup is slow? Maybe it takes that long to do its memory check, which depends on how much memory you have and how it is checked. -- "If you want to post a followup via groups.google.com, don't use the broken "Reply" link at the bottom of the article.

Sorry it took this long to get back to you -
The 2000G is a Samsung SP2004C, set as Master. The 40G is a WD Caviar, also set as Master. The reason I set them as Master, is because they are each on their own 'cable' or channel... Is this incorrect? -- B'rgds, Vinnie "Frank Slootweg" wrote in message ... $DRIFT ON [Previous Followup-To: ignored.] CBFalconer wrote: Uncle Vinnie wrote: HP Pavilion a1310n, using XP Home.

Odd thing, all runs fine except that Windows is labeling it under
hardware/device as 'Disk Drive', not by name... BIOS sees it as a WD, and Windows device ID shows it as a WD... how do I correct this, thanks! -- B'rgds, Vinnie "Uncle Vinnie" wrote in message ...

Never mind- all fixed- quick Windows uninstall, then reinstall was all that
was needed... All works well, thank you! -- Brads, Vinnie "Uncle Vinnie" wrote in message ...
