I have two WD drives hooked up to an ATA card as data drives. My boot drive is an 18 GB Seagate SCSI running off of an Adaptec 39160 controller card.
So I went to remove one of the WD drives and received a STOP message after rebooting, specifically:
UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME STOP: OX000000ED,0X8730C2D8,OXC0000185, 0X00000000, 0X00000000)
I was able to boot into safe mode after reconnecting the drive and did a system restore which brought me back OK.
So then I uninstalled the drive before removing it, but received the same STOP message at reboot.
Now I can't even boot into safe mode to do a system restore.
Why would a data drive be affecting my OS which is on another drive?
BTW, this is the first system in which I've had an ATA controller card; is there more to removing an IDE drive when it's run through one of these vs. the IDE channel on the mobo?
The mobo is an Asus A7N8X with an XP2800.
Thanks.
