All,

First thanks for all the help. What seems to happen to my comoputer is very odd. I installed a second hard drive to my ME machine for storage. What the problem is that the second HD seems to start spinning (I can hear it) and then it seems to stop aburptly. I can hear that also. The problme is that is seems to choke my computer after a few of these start/stop cycles and then I have to do a hard reset. Not a good thing, I have had errors on a reboot as well such as "No operating system found", A scandisk will start and the freeze, etc. After a few hard reboots it seems to fire right back up but I know this is not good. Any thoughs?
 
Could be the second drive is bogging things down. Unplug the data cable and boot up, see if the problem/s are still there.
