Fw: Adding new disks under XP

["Gareth Cook/UK/IBM" <g@xxxxxxx>]

Whats the partition type you created
? Primary ? Are they marked as Active ?

Depending on the type of disks you have
and the order, it may be attempted to boot from that drive. Remove the
partitions and create them under XP or create them under dos as non-ACTIVE
partitions.

Subject: .	[ukha_d] Adding new disks under XP .
Category:

I've just added a couple of new disks to my main server. I installed,
formatted and activated the first disk without problem (other that getting
me to re-activate XP, why?). However the second one is giving me a
headache. I *think* I did everything the same, however when I restart the
server it comes up with "NTLDR not found". Basically it try to boot from
the new disk. It's set as a primary slave so this should not be happening.
I've even tried powering the disk up once the server is running, but XP
just doesn't see it.

So at present I'm stuffed. I can't boot my PC with the disk attached to fix
the problem, and I can't get the PC to see the disk once it's running.
Help. Any pointers would be appreciated.
