Ok, I have 4 HDDs in my computer. I can put all of them on, and the computer will take about 5+ minutes to start. If I take off 1 hdd specifically, a 15GB, slave on the primary IDE chain, it all loads fine. Anybody know why this might be happening?
 
It may just be a slow drive? Or on its way to the big hard drive rack in the sky?

I added an SATA drive which increased boot up times but my drive is on an offboard card so that maybe explains my boot time increases.
 
I dont really think its either of those though :-\ I have used this HDD for quite some time, and it has never done this. And, it only just started, when I moved over to a new faster mobo.
