comp stopped recogn 2nd hard drive
Upon starting there is a continuous CLICK - CLICK, then the memory is checked (ESC to skip). Recognizes PRI MSTR IDE HARD DRIVE - PRI SLAVE IDE HARD DRIVE;
ATAPI CDROM - SLAVE ATAPI CDROM; and then continues to load--CLICKS continue. When it has finished loading, it indicates press F1 to start, and opens windows.
Once windows has opened, no more clicks are heard, and the system works fine. It notes ERROR 1327 INVALID DRIVE
An additional problem has been the refusal of a printer to respond to this computer. I have tried several in USB connections, but get no printouts, or recognition. This occurred about the same time as the hard drive problem, but I do not know if they are related.
I know of no action I took that would have had this result. Suggestions are welcome!
Thanks
