Hello


Everything about WD Jumpers; How to physically install, set jumper settings, and set up a Serial ATA, EIDE, or SSD drive in Windows 7, Vista, XP, and 2000

The IDE disc needs to be set as slave

I hope this sorts the problem out

The edit was also no help?
If you remove the IDE drive does your PC boot quicker?

You might also try cable select jumper setting on ide drive, did you do a clean install w/ Windows 7 or an upgrade.

without ide boots perfectly,i cant? put cable select,i ripeed of the end of the ribon cable,(with the blac plastic)if thats the name,so i soppose it must be slave,the gray playstic...,(the first one,i only have 1 ata cable)

If the cable is damaged you will have to replace it this might well be the cause of your problem

I'm not fully understanding your last post, are you plugging the ide drive into the end of the cable or the middle?? if it's the end of the cable that's the primary, if the middle that's the slave. You might also go into bios and check the boot order and make sure your SATA hdd if first boot.

ok,ireplaced cable,as said onto disk label it need 40pin as it is,last was i think 80,i think its the same for the purpose of work....it copies files very fast ,but boot still 5- min...

it bots from sata drive...not solved..any help?
