Adding Additional Hard Drive

by tjnash09 . Updated 16 years, 5 months ago

I wanted to add an additional hard drive to my desktop pc running WinXP. I secured it inside and attached the power and slave IDE cable which extended from the original Hard drive. However, when I turn on the PC it gives me the message that my primary HDD is about to undergo a critical failure and does not recognize the second HDD. When I disconnect the second HDD everything is normal again… how do I do this?

P.S. the second HDD does have its own OS and a view files.
