    Slow Startup when 2nd hard drive is attached.
    « on: July 19, 2006, 08:54:32 PM »
    Every time I install my 2nd hard drive, my computer slows in booting, it would take about 10 to 15 minutes to boot.  I have double check every setting, and used the secondary hd slot, but still the same result.

    My specs:

    Athlon XP 1800
    ECS L7vmm2 motherboard
    40 gb seagate - Primary
    4 gb western digital - secondary
    256 mb
    ati radeon 9250, 128 mb.

    What drives are in the machine and how are they ALL cabled and jumpered. Are they all seen correctly in the BIOS?
