Re: Second hard drive causing blue screen error

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance



I am such an idiot. Te answer was provided in the thread already and it was
my novice misunderstanding that had me working this problem to death.

The answer was the jumper settings. I misunderstood what that was referring
to and missed my answer that could have saved mine and your time as well as
being able to recover data which I now lost,when I thought there was no
solution.

The worst part is that as soon as I discovered answer today I realized that
I had already been aware of jumper settings and what their purpose was in
setting hard drives. Nothing like being smacked in the face with the easy
solution and realizing I should have clued in right away.

So again thanks for your help and sorry to have wasted your time

I have two hard drives. I was using one for storage and the other to run
WindowsXP. I received a "blue screen" error on the Windows drive and was
unable to reboot without the error re-appearing.



I then disconnected that drive and installed windows on the other drive
with the intention of recovering files off the first. This is where my
issue begins. When I hook up 4-pin cord as well as the 20/24-pin cord the
pc reboots and I get the blue screen error.



I thought that I would be able to hook up the old drive and access files
as if the drive was storage.



Is there a way I can access this drive as if it were storage? What may be
causing the error? Are two instances of Windows XP trying to run on
reboot?



Any suggestions are appreciated.



Thanks, Bob
