Have just got an extra hard drive and have sucessfully partitioned and
formatted it. The jumpers are set correctly.

The problem is that when I put both drives in the computer, they both
get detected as master and slave, but when windows xp home starts to
load the green bar spins arround a few times and then stops but the
hard drive light remains on.

If I remove the new drive and reboot the computer works fine.
Any suggestions greatfully received.

They are on one IDE cable.
Sorry I ment the second.
Both drives work fine if I use a start up disk I can access both, it
is just since assing the second windows xp home will not load. If I
remove the drive it will load with out a problem.
Thanks
