In my system which is 5 yrs old....i booted the hard disk as master...

AND i got the error

Pri Master HDD error 05/06/2001
Sec slave.....
....
Press F1 to resume

In my friend's system ....

It starts booting and then a blue screen appears

Stop!!..error @ OxAE.......
if this is the first time ...reboot and etc........

but works fine as a slave



That's normal...a win2k HD cannot be put in a machine with different
hardware and bootup...
You need to resolve the problem on your own machine.

Redetect the drive in the bios...
if your machine cannot detect the drive...though your controller could be
bad...
it may be as simple as a bad IDE cable
