Problem with 2nd Hard-disk

commander · 12-26-2005, 08:11 AM

Hi,

I have 2 hard disks which are partitioned into the following Drive:

1st hard-disk- partitioned as C: to house the Win OS
2nd hard-disk- partitioned as D: and E: to house any others such as games, miscellaneous files etc

I have no problem until just now when I boot up and there was an error message prompted "error with 2nd master hard-disk" on the boot up screen. In addition, I could not locate D: and E: drive from the window explorer , i.e. the 2nd hard-disk cannot be located or connected.

Can anyone assist, please. URGENT! Appreciate it.

Usually you dont get an error like this or when you can't see the other partitions, is when you've got the master and slave configurations wrong. I would try that. If it worked before and one day it stopped, what did you do to make this happen? or what did you install? Disk management utilities?
