Hi i currently have 2 IDE HDD's and have installed a 3rd sata HDD, all works fine but when i remove the 2nd IDE HDD (slave) I start running into problems..
When the slave IDE hdd is removed my pc doesnt find the 1st IDE HDD and tries to boot from the sata drive causing an error something like "No RTLDS found" or something similar, im unsure of the exact error as im typing this, which is of course because my sata drive doesnt have windows on it.
So my question is how do i go about getting my IDE drive with windows on it as master and my blank sata drive for games and such as slave with no 2nd(slave) IDE hdd installed... confused?
I have tried setting all the hdds manually in bios with no success, everytime i boot up with 1 IDE and 1 SATA it only picks up the SATA as master and no IDE at all, as soon as i put all 3 hdds in it runs perfectly fine, it detects both master and slave IDE drives plus the slave SATA drive.
I really need to get the 2nd HDD out to go into another pc but atm i can only get the pc to run correctly when all 3 drives are plugged in.
pls help!
