Ok, when I have my D: harddrive plugged in, my system wont boot, but when i unplug it it boots fine.
there is no error message
When the D: drive is plugged in it bios shows the drive as slave which is correct
then windows xp starting comes up where u get the bar with the [][] going thorugh, after that it goes to a black screen and stays frozen there, nothing changes after that. I reboot and get the same problem.
When the D: drive is unplugged my system boots, then goes to the Windows is starting up with the [] boxes, then it starts right into windows and takes me to the login screen like it should.
The D: hardrivedrive is slave to boot drive C:, its on primary ide with boot drive.
Various things I tried:
tried rehasing the bios.
tried clearing cmos.
checked jumpers to make sure, and changed it to another ide channel as slave
After all these attempts I still had no success.
I am kinda getting frustrated.
The harddrive is a 80 gig maxtor which came with my hp awhile back, but has/had worked previously without problems.
