The person posting as "Leythos" is a troll. Ignore him.

I am not sure what exactly is going on with your computer. Disconnect the
slave drive and restore to factory condition again. Then post back and tell
us if everything is working OK. Leave the slave drive disconnected until
you know your computer is working fine as it came from the factory.

You need to format your hard drive and reinstall windows.

Well Chris and his sock are still impersonating me - The headers prove
that I (Leythos) did not post the above statement. Abuse reported to
Teranews.
 
Yes my computer is working fine as it came from factory after I disconnect
the slave drive. But when I restart my computer its prompt boot from cd .
Then I put windows xp cd. Computer work fine without slave drive. But I need
my 500 gb hard drive to work . My original hard drive is only 7.79gb left
after put os xp.

OK, we seem to have a bit of a language problem here. Are you saying that
when you have the slave drive connected, Windows will not boot unless you
have the XP CD in the drive? If this is the case, check your boot priority
order in the BIOS and put the hard drive (Drive 0, not Drive 1) first.

As you told me disconnect the slave drive and restore the factory condition
again. I disconnect the slave drive and restore the factory condition again.
I left slave drive disconnected. I restart the computer its prompt insert
system disk. I insert the system recovery c.d. After finish restoring system
its prompt successfully restore system to start press any key. I press enter
key but my computer did not start . It prompts “DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT
SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTERâ€

It sounds to me like you've got your boot priority wrong, but I'll be honest
with you - I can't go further with this since I can't see the computer and
it's really unclear to me what the state of your computer is. Have a
knowledgeable friend or computer professional take a look.

Sorry that I was unable to help you.

Thank you all. I fixed my computer with your help. I put back my primary and
slave drive and reinstall xp . Computer work fine just like brand new
computer except, on my computer property showing up 3 drives. Drive A drive D

but it suppose to be 500 gb. Could u please tell me what I did wrong . I
relay appreciate your help. Thank you
