bios won't hold second HD settings
I added a second HD to a system, and in the BIOS set it to be auto detected.
It was detected, and all is well, but when I power off the pc, the settings are lost. What is the problem? Thanks.

Pull power cord out,find and use clear CMOS jumper and if not known remove CMOS battery for a few mins(coffee break). Then re-power on and try settings. ATX powered systems cannot fully clear the CMOS/BIOS with power to the system as a residual current is applied to the BIOS/CMOS and incorrect/dirty data can be left in there. Post back if no good.
