Hi all! I've noticed others have had problems with adding a second HD to the 7700, but none of the other threads seemed to address exactly what I'm encountering, soo...
I used this page off of the AW site to make sure I got the new drive installed in the right spot relative to my old (primary) HD. The new disk is another Hitachi 7200 RPM drive, brand new out of the package and unformatted. When I installed the dirves per the instructions above, the new drive is the only one recogznized by the computer when I turn it on. It does the same thing when I swap the posiition of the drives; in either configuration, whenever I turn on the computer it only recognizes the new drive, attmpts to boot from it, and of course comes up with the "OS not found" message.
I've also tried pulling out my floppy drive and XP CD to try and boot from CD and load the disc drivers from the floppy. However, this also didn't work as the windows installation will get so far and then freeze. Any ideas?
