Trying to install 2nd Hard drive

[tomtflys]

Hi guys Im trying to install a 2nd hard drive for backup. I installed the drive using sata cables. But when I try and boot up the computer it loads like normal but after you see the windows xp screen I get a blue screen error. If i unplug the drive it loads windows fine. I checked my boot preference. My main drive boots first then the new one. Any ideas how to fix this?
Thanks
Tom

Read those topics please. Without the Stop Error codes we cant be of much service to help diagnose the problem cause we can only guess at what is going wrong. With that information we can be of much more help.

At first glance i would say PSU isnt powerful enough. But i dont think that is it.
