I missed your previous input and you cut out all the running dialog so i have no clue as to what has already been discussed , so soorry for anything stupid here... but here's two cents worth....
Sort sounds like your hardware configuration is not correct anymore, like you forgot to undo something you changed when you installed the second drive. Did ya change the master/slave jumper on the HDa drive to single drive when you removed the hdb drive by any chance? Is this a compaq by any chance that would now prefer you switched to cable select? Does the drive show up in the bios? does it actually try to boot? > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Ashley M.
