strange problem i have, hard to explain Slave Drive Causes Hanging .....
strange problem i have, hard to explain really Slave Drive Causes Hanging, ok here goes, yesterday pc booted up as normal like it has done for 2 years but today it would only boot up when i dissconect my slave drive, i done a maxter blaster test on both drives and they passed just fine, also power supply is ok and also i tried connecting slave drive to other power connectors just in case one was bad, but it does not boot with any connected it just powers up for like 2 seconds then pc shuts down but as soon as i take out power plug from slave it then boots ok, the only way i can get both hard drives to boot is when in windows i physically plug in the slave drive power connector and then just reset pc and then all ok, but if i actually turn pc off and start from scratch its a no go again, but its a real pain doing this each time, any ideals what my problem can be, i have tried most things now, i have not added any new hardware for ages either. thx
