OK, had Win7 running fine with a 40gb WD HD. Win XP (sp3) runs fine on the 80 Gb HD. Decided to

get a few bigger hd's and reinstall win 7 for the heck of it.
My win XP SP3 works fine when booted up into it.

My bios somehow got changed and this is what I came up with to get the thing to run!! I'm sure

it must not be right but at least I can get to my XP hard drive!! I can boot to Win7 but

everything just hangs. I've tried the 500gb drive with the jumper and without, and it

doesn't seem to make a difference.

My boot menue looks like this when I boot up:

Older window System
Windows 7
Windows 7

The bottom Windows 7 seems to be from an earlier install.

Befor I installed win7 on the had I totally formated the drive and got a clean install,

except it hung on the video driver. I safe booted and it loaded AGP440.sys anda loaded

the rest of win7

I don't plan on messing with my xp drive (C) since it works fine and I don't want to screw that up.

I feel maybe I have some issues with the drives and the master slave settings.....

Thanks

western digital drives are kind of funny at times.

A lot of times I have had to set the master western digital drives jumper settings to slave to be able to use them with other (maxtor, seagate, etc) drives in the same system.

Not so much now with all SATA II drives, but with an IDE in there, it happens about 80% of the time.
