bios start sequence; can?t detect hds

by bodirt . Updated 21 years, 2 months ago

I have two ide drives on my computer. on each one i have seperate windows xp systems installed. (the reason for me having two seperate systems is that i have on that?s encrytpted). sometimes this configuration works fine. i am able to choose in the bios which hd i want to boot from and launch windows. but sometimes during the start up sequence, the bios doesn?t detect any of the two disks and is unable to boot at all. if i disconnect one of the hds and start up the computer bios has no problem detecting the single drive and will boot from it. i?m guessing this is some kind of hardware issue and doesn?t have anything to with me having dual systems insatlled… can anybody help me out?
