Windows 7 - Primary drive locks up upon boot

| | Primary drive locks up upon boot I plugged in my old IDE hard drive and had it set up as a slave and when I try booting up I get to the Windows splash screen and I hear my primary drive click and then the activity light stays solid and it won't boot. I tried a couple times and it wouldn't work so I unplugged the secondary drive and it booted right up. Any ideas? |
