Re: White progress bar during startup

All my PC's have a starting progress bar - win2k & winxp pro - how long it
shows depends on what I have loading -

If your PC is taking a long time to load win, after installing a second hd,
then that might indicate a driver issue

Didn't work.
Any other ideas people?
Or should I go right to Microsoft and ask them?

Hey does anyone know how to get rid of the white progress bar that shows
up
during start up?
I have posted a message on a group on Microsoft but no one wants to tell
me
how to fix it. They say I must have done something wrong when I
installed my
second drive.
It started showing up after I started using a second hard drive. I know
of
others who have added drives just the same way I have. They don't have
to
wait 5-6 minutes because of the white progress bar.
I have the second drive setup as the slave drive and my first drive is
setup
as Master that's the drive Windows XP boots from.

Any ideas to get rid of the white bar other than unhooking the second
hard
drive?
Thanks,
