Hi there
I just recently added a second HDD to my computer and ever since i did it has been slowing my computer downnn ruggedly
By slowing down i mean when i restart my comp it takes about 5 minutes and it shouldnt lol and just generaly slwoing my machine down, viewing web pages, opening programs ect.
Now, i had a second HDD before, and everything worked fine, it was a 40 GB seagate, i got this other HDD a 160 GB Samsung SP1604N (Spinpoint) and im hvaing al these problems now.
I reformatted it with partion magic, i did a secure erase which took about 16 hours to complete lol and im still haveing problems. the drivers installed fine, i can put files on the HDD, just takes longer than it rightfullly should...its set as my slave with the jumpers, its connected to my slave cable, my first HDD is set by the jumpers to be the master wiuth slave present...just confused
Now i was maybe thinking because my second HDD is biggier than my first....could that cause problems ?? thats the only thing i could see that would give me problems..
this is what i got for a system just for referance....
HP Pavilion A712N
Windows XP Home edition
CPU- 2.8 intel P4
1 GB RAM SDRAM
Lite-On DVD burner
256 MB ATI Radeon 9200 series graphics card
Master HDD- 120 GB Western Digital
Slave HDD(problem one)- 160 GB Samsung SP1604N
Anyways if anyone could help me I'd be very apprciative, Thanks to anyone who helps
