major disk problem "boot failure"
okay.
i have two hard drives.
one is a 200gb seagate partioned into an 80g and 120gb. this drive runs windows, etc.
the second is a 400gb seagate partioned in half.
i restarted my computer, and it said "boot failure. insert system disk and press enter"
tried that. no dice. on a whim, i removed my 400gb, and the computer booted up fine.
thusly, the 400gb is the problem. but short of data recovery, how do i fix it?!
please help.

i checked my jumpers, and those appear correct.
i even tried to put the drive in my external casing.
i will try the BIOS.
then i guess i will try a data recovery place.
also, why would this happen out of nowhere?
i am not challenging you. i appreciate your taking the time to respond. i am just confused, frustrated, sad, a little tired, and dumb.
Primary master drive fails
Primary slave drive fails
Do you have both drives on the same IDE cable or a different one?
