Hello,

i have a hard disk on my computer where there is windows xp installed on it and this one is working fine. ysterday i bought a new one and when im connecting it in my computer the first one would not start windows it just freezes my bios and when i removed it then everything works fine and the first hard disk starts windows normally but when the second is plugged in the problem starts again.

the new hard disk could not have been fried because its new and i have also checked the cables and its working fine so what is the matter?

hi there,

the problem comes from the pin selector the hard disk where you have windows installed must be set to master and the other one must be set to slave and then it must be work properly
