SATA problem
I was hoping you guys could help me with something.
I have 2 Hard Drives in my machine at the moment.
1 SATA 160GB
and one IDE 160GB
MY SATA Hard drive is split into 2 partitions, one which has MY OS on it (XP) and one for my files
My IDE Hard drive has only a single partition with files on it, and is set to slave.
I recently bought a second SATA Hard drive, however, when i plug it in, Windows will not load, it will get to the blue loading bar, then that finish and the computer seems to just halt at that point.
I can see the second SATA HD when in bios, my boot priority is
CDROM
Removable
Harddrive
which it has been since i built the machine, yet windows will not load while the second SATA is plugged in.
Once i remove the SATA, Windows loads perfectly as normal.
I do not believe it is a problem with the SATA HD itself, because i tested my problem on a friends SATA, which is confirmed working, and i get the same problem.
I do NOT have a RAID card, and Raid is disabled in BIOS anyway.
My MOBO SATA controller can support 4 SATA Disks, can any of you help me find a solution to my problem?
My Original SATA (With XP) is indeed first to boot
It is also plugged into the first SATA port on my MOBO (They are clearly marked)
My MOBO is a p5nSLI
