Simple. Your computer is trying to boot to the second hard drive. You must ensure the jumpers are set correctly. Either one to slave and the other to master, or both to cable select. In any event, you should place the master drive at the end of the …
Jump to PostOnce you figure out how to set it as the master/slave, configure your first drive (the one with the OS, ie. your old drive) as the master, and configure your new drive as the slave. Now you shouldn't have a problem during bootup.
