I installed Win 2K Pro and everything was running fine
until I added a second HDD. After the HDD was installed
and I started Windows, I was prompted that Windows found
new hardware and to finish the install you must restart
the system. Before I restarted I opened an explorer window
and could see all my data on the old and new HDD's so I
restarted. When the system booted back up and the log-in
screen was visible I attempted to log in and it acted like
it was going fine then the log-in screen came back. It
does this repeatedly. I kept rebooting and trying it again
and then after I typed in my password to log in it tells
me that my page file is missing or too small and tells how
to change that, you click ok and the log-in screen comes
back. I can not get into Windows. I attempted repairing
from the install CD but it can not find the problem
apparently because it is still the same. Any ideas?

Do you have the second hard drive jumpered correctly ??
Also, some hard drives have different jumpering for master
and single.
