Scenario. System works great...Tyan Tiger dual durons 512 megs ram, DVD, cd reWrite, 30 gig maxtor IDE, Radeon VE, GeForce2mx PCI, Sis graphics something. Went to best buy and bought a 40 gig western digital. put it in slave to maxtor, now the system reboots. system boots up, but it takes twice as long as normal, then after a short period it reboots. have auto reboot on so I dont know what it says, just took it off, so I am going to plug drive back in and see what it says. computer works great until I add the other drive. Jumpers are set right, have tried different jumper settings on both drives anyhow, no change. Drive shows up in My Computer. Power shouldnt be a problem, My dasm loud power supply is 500 watts. Any ideas?

The other drive is just doing what it should. 😛 Get a RAID controller to get rid of that problem. Another thing, make sure the DMA is enabled in your OS. Plus are both the same speed? ATA-100 or ATA-66? If one is ATA-66 that would make a BIG difference! Both would be considered ATA-66, thus making your ATA-100 drive run slower. Just an example.
