What motherboard make and model? whatever motherboard you have, check in
bios it boots first to HDD0 or HDD1 if HDD0 don't exist.

I assume the boot drive is master and at the end of the cable and other hard
drive is slave and in the middle of the cable?

or

Try cable select and put the boot drive on the end of the cable and the
other hard drive in the middle.

hope that helps

I have a weird boot problem. I have 2 hard drives. And I have verified
the
jumper settings and they are correct.

If I have just one hard drive connected, it boots fine.

If I have two hard drives conneted at the same time it doesnt boot. It
gives a disk boot error.

Now the strange part. If I have a bootable cd in the cd rom but it does
not
boot from it, it will boot from my hd with out any problems.

Any idea on what could be causing this?

Thanks!
