Boot Disk Failure
Hi
I had a problem with my first drive. WinXP tells me I had a boot disk failure. I reinstalled windows and the boot problem went away. Now it seems very time I attach the second HD to the system at boot up the bios does not see any drives except the DVD. If I remove the drive cable the system works fine.What`s the deal.. I`ve never see this problem before...appreciate advice.

BTW, sounds like either your second HD is ****ed, or jumpered incorrectly, but without telling us more about your setup, it's hard to tell.
