    Arrow Primary drive 0 not found, primary drive 1 not found

    hi all, i recently added a new 20gb hard drive and kept my old 40gb one in, when i turned my computer on, it tried to boot up using the drive i had just added (which is second hand) so i took them out and on the origonal harddrive, the jumper was set to CMS enabled or something similar so i changed it to primary hard drive but the 2nd hard drive had no jumper so i left it after i had put it all back together i booted up and this message came up:

    Primary drive 0 not found
    Primary drive 1 not found
    Strike F1 to retry boot, F2 for setup utility


    Can you help please?
    I am running win XP home
    Primary hard drive: Maxtor 40gb
    Slave: 20gb Digital western

    there was no jumper in the 2nd hard drive so it was automaticaly set to single or master and the origonal one was set to master so i took the 2nd one out and it kept saying keyboard error so i took the origonal HD out any went to boot menu and it was still set to master and slave HD so i disabled the slave and everything is fine
