XP keeps on Checking my HD when I boot...

[ROTC1983]

and says that the second NTFS boot sector is missing. There is nothing installed on the second hard drive and it has been formatted twice. The HD in question is a WD1600JB. Thanks for any help.

have you tryed letting the WD utility write 1's and 0's to the drive then format it ? sounds like the boot sector has become corrupt. if your not going to lose any info it might straighten it out.
good luck
