i have 2 hard drives. before i was running them as primary master and primary slave and the dvd in the secundary master and the burner as a scsi so that one doesnt matter. oen day it somehow fucked up and it decided not to boot. so i played with it. and got it running with the hds on the primary master and secundary master. so just now i opened it up
plugged in both hds as primary master and slave turned it on. it took forever to go in the bios, it said network boot press f12. the jumpers are correctly put in. then i went in the bios and checked it, both hds appeared fine, checked the network boot, it was disabled.
restarted
took again forever then it got out of the startup screen and went to a black screen with the blinking hyphen -
wtf is that?
counting minutes from the beggining
after 1 minute still in startup INTEL screen.
after 2 minutes it wen tto a completely black screen
after 3 minutes the same as above.
after 4 minutes windows xp pro... blablabla
after 5 minutes it loaded the drivers, the mouse turned on
and after 6 minutes it loadded into windows with both hds on the primary
what is making it boot so slow now that i have both in the primary. i mean, the wire cant be overloaded yet, its a 2 year old computer.
its a p4 1.8ghz 512 ram 64mb video. ran perfectly normal. weird.
