BOOT FAILURE? WIERD SITUATION. BEST ANSWER GETS 13 POINTS!?
the other hard drive 20gb i just use for storage but i think it was NTFS instead of Fat32 and i have no OS installed on it. And this is my Primary Slave drive
And the cdrom is my Secondary master but the cdrom isnt important
Ok so everything was going well and i boot off the 40gb evryday and get whatever i need from the 20gb and i was happy
but today when i started my computer it said boot failure Please insert FLoppy into drive A and it also said that it couldn’t detect my hard drives
so my first thought is that the cables went loose
so i open it and all the cables were fine
so i thought maybe the cable was broken
but i just wanted to test the cable to make sure it was working
so what i did was only use my 40 gb hard drive so i took out the cable for the 20 gb hard drive so that i would only use the 40gb hard drive
and it worked
so my 40 hard drive booted up with that cable fine so the cable wasn’t the problem. so i thought maybe the hard drive was the problem
so i took my 20gb and switched the jumpers from slave to master
and made it the Primary master and since it didn’t have an OS all i wanted to see if it showed up on my BoOT menu
so i plugged the cables in and yeah it showed up on my bios
so now it wasn’t the cable and it wasn’t the hard drive
but i still suspected the cable
so i got a new cable
and still it said boot failure IFDe Primary Drive not detected
and so its not the cable and its not the hard drive
and i h ave valuable info on both of the hard drives?
so what do i do

How do I install a second hard drive?
I need to:
A.) Format this drive because i do not want Win2K operating system
B.) Use it
Background:
I first plugged this drive into the computer with necessary cables. I booted: it went through the POST and then to a black screen. Shut down, readjusted jumpers. Same problem. I then took my original drive in the new computer and set it as a master and the new drive from the old computer as a slave but then it entered into Window Setup and next time I restarted entered the PC Recovery Console. Not to worry, this is not a frantic “I dont know what to do call”; i restarted and everything was fine. The BIOS recognizes this drive. Anyone have any pointers on what is wrong?
After it works, I hope to install Windows Vista on that drive and WinXP on the other.
