I'm having a problem with one of my hard drives. Ok so I have 3 western digital hard drives in the computer, 2 80 gigs and 1 10 gig. The only reason I have the 10 gig in there is because without it, I cant seem to get into windows.. but that's not the big problem, the problem is when I hook up my second 80 gig to anywhere, primary slave, secondary slave, it boots up extremly slow. Here's a typical scenario:
I turn on computer, posts almost instantly. Then we have "Verifying DMI Pool Data................. Update Success" or something along those lines. Then "Boot from CD:", (Yes I put cd first in boot order, and no, nothing changes if I switch the order). There's no cd in the drive so it moves on to the hard drives. Now.. no matter how I set the jumpers on this thing it stays at this screen for about a minute and a half, without the hard drive hooked up it's about 1 second. So I'm a little confused. Anyone ever experience this?
