Re: Added 2nd hard drive now computer won't boot

It really doesn't sound like these settings *are* correct, though, from your
description. If you swap the drives does it boot w/the erstwhile '2nd' drive
connected (and the real one disconnected)?

Unless you're referring to some new advance in feminine hygiene product
technology, or Korean beer, I think you mean Obi-Wan !


Wow that was quick. DL & JS I will try the Maxtor drive test but I
don't think it's faulty as I used to use this 2nd drive as my Vista
tester and used to switch which drives booted 1st through the BIOS and
it seemed to be fine then. Even if I disconnected the 1st drive it
would boot to Vista fine.

And Yes Lanwrench you are right, it was my typo, It should be Obi-Wan.
LOL
