I have XP Pro on a very fast dell machine and have
installed 2 high capacity drives. When starting up, the
XP GUI will disply and if I open "My Computer", XP will
show a flashlight for about 60 seconds while it searcehs
for my drives. I'm pretty sure this has something to do
with the hardware but I would appreaciate any feedback.
 
Remove and CD's/DVD's from the trays. Then, try again. It takes a while to
read the disks if there are many files on them.
