I Can't Make My 2nd Harddisk Work as a Slave
I have 2 IDE harddisks. One of them, is connected to my PC and working. The other is one my friend gave me. When I connect the 2nd one using the free IDE port on the IDE wire that's already connected to my old Harddisk and use the CD-roms power plug to connect to the power, the PC starts, shows me the Intel Inside screen, then stops at a black screen and doesn't continue to boot. I tried switching the cables between my old Harddisk and the new one but the PC seems to insist on treating the new one as the only Harddisk installed. After the first few tries, I deleted all partitions on the new HDD. I tried again but it didn't work. What should I do to have 2 harddisks functioning at once on my system?
