I installed a new hard drive, 40GB Western Digital this week, along with my old 40GB Western Digital that came with my computer, both are running on the same system.
They are on the same cable, the new one's jumper is on "master with slave present," and the old one's jumper is on "Slave."
With the jumpers set like this, my system boots up to the master, or WIN XP PRO. The Slave is WIN XP HOME.
I know this is possible, but I don't know how to set it up, I want my computer to boot up and before booting a HD, I want it to prompt me which HD I want to boot, giving me the option of 1. WIN XP PROFESSIONAL, or 2. WIN XP HOME.
I have tried various jumper settings, and it won't boot because of primary drive not found. I do not have a manual for my HD's, just thought someone would ask.
Is it jumpers that need set differently, or some other setup or setting I need to change???
Thanks,
Blake
