I don't knopw wherre I've gone wrong - Can you help
please? I added a MAxtor hard disk as an increased
storage device to my XP pro based pc without, I thought,
any prob. Disc was identified and formatted by XP and
appears in the startup screen as the Primary Slave. The
bootup then freezes with the message DISK BOOT FAILURE,
INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER.
Original disk is jumpered to master as it always has
been. New disc (MAXTOR) is jumpered to slave.
Both are connected on the same ribbon.
When i switch off and disconnect new HD system boots
normally. Sw off and connect new HD and boot fails.

Pri Master disk: LBA, UDMA 33,8455MBparallel:378
Pri. Slave Disk: LBA, UDMA33, 122gb SDRAM at row : 02

DISK BOOT FAILURE etc.......
