It was working a few days ago ,to boot from the second hard drive Any suggestions? Thx! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanguard382 Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 If you open up your computer and look at the hard drive you should see 4 little pins and this little black over thing will be on two of them, it will eitehr be on the right most pins or the left most. Take the one that is your master and move the black thing over one set of pins. This will tell your computer that this is now the secounday or slave drive, them go to the other drive and make sure it is on the first most pins or the pins the other one used to be. If this is not to clear i can try to explain it again. If i am completely wrong don't get mad at me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was changing the boot options in bios, and it was working....until now. Thx anyway! Other ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultimate Predator Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 What Vanguard said is the way to proper change it (I believe somewhere in the boot menu of when your PC is loading up you can change what is prmary and what is secondary). Otherwise try different pin changes, but I'm not a master at these things, so please don't totally trust my judgement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldmannen Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 Why do you have Microsoft Windows on both drives? And is it same version too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
