I recently added a 120 gb h/d to a system with a 40 gb h/d. This was a gateway machine(766) that had a dvd reader and a cdrw on the secondary channel as slave/master. I added the 120 gig to the primary channel as a slave. The 40 gig was the master on the primary. I installed(deleted windows me partition, created new part, ntfs format, install) windows xp pro on the 40 gig h/d. Is there a problem keeping 2 h/d's on one channel? When the system boots it asks for a floppy to be inserted with bootable media. If I leave the xp cd in and do not touch anything, it boots fine. I have changed the boot order around a great deal to see what might be wrong there, but it's not the order that's causing the problem. Any ideas what is causing this? When the systems comes up, the post runs fine and it finds both h/d's with correct specifics.
