I just inherited a faster more powerful computer. I took out one of
the hard drives and added my cd writer. Windows will now not start.
It started before the cd writer(without the hard drive). I have not
yet gone into the bios, that just makes me nervous. Please help!

Have you set the CD writer as master/slave ?

The other question would be *which* HDD was removed ?
