I have a computer with two hard drives. XP is installed on the primary.
The primariy is 120GB.
The secondary is 200GB.
They've been both working fine for a few months.
Today when I sat down at my computer, I noticed it had rebooted sometime during the night.
I logged on and it kind of just hung there. I could access my start menu, but programs wouldn't launch.
I rebooted.
Or, at least I tried to. When I push the power buttone, I can hear the fans start and the drives start and then the computer just shuts down before it can get anywhere.
If I unplug the power to the second drive, the machine can boot.
If leave it plugged in, it shuts down seconds after pushing the power button.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
