My O/S is Windows XP
I have installed my new Plextor drive on the second IDE as master with no other devices as indicated in the installation instructions. The drive has power but when win xp boots i get the message 'BOOT DISK FALIURE PLEASE INSERT BOOT DISK AND PRESS ANY KEY', this is just after my memory check is complete and the computer is looking for IDE devices. If i disconnect the drive the computer boots into xp and everything is fine.
I have tried the jumper on both SLAVE and MASTER but get the same problem.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
