I curently have a 20gig ATA100 Segate and a 120gig ATA100 WestDigital on my UIDE #1 on same 80pin ribbon. Boots fine into Win2K. I have a cdrom and a cd-rw on a 40pin cable going to IDE #1. They too work fine. What I want to do is hookup 2 ata 66 drives to IDE#2. Upon boot up I get NTDLR missing. I did have them working a for a short while intill I tried them on UIDE#2. The system hung at a "starting windows" screen, so I put them back onto the regular IDE channel. Now I keep getting the above message. I disconnected the drives and am now just running the 2 UIDE drives. I have a few 4gig drives laying about and just wanted to slap them in for a little extra storage. I'm planning on doing some video editing soon.:(

ps running Win2kpro sp4
Thanks Bruce

    update....20gig and 120gig still on UIDE 1. 4gig on it own cable alone on reg IDE 2. the 2 cd drives are on reg IDE 1. Upon bootup, I get "invalid system disk, press any key tp reboot...". I hit the return key once and get "Boot from CD" twice and then it boots up into windows fine. what the heck is going on?????

    I gave the ^8%% up. One of the most things I DONT like is to have to sit at the computer as its booting up to hit a key or enter a password in order for the bootup to proceed. SO, I removed the 4gig non-ata100 drive. I guess I'll just have to get another ATA 100 drive I can hook up to my UDIE#2. No need to post any replys.................................................Bruce
