  • I'd start by checking the master/slave jumper settings of any drive left in the PC, also the bios settings on your pc, to make sure its looking for the correct drives on boot. This site might also be of some help www.ehow.com/how_6031_change-master/slave-designation.html
  • Because although it is standard for one drive to be jumpered MASTER and the other drive to be jumpered SLAVE and this would allow you to remove the SLAVE drive and the MASTER will still work.... there are some drives out there that are actually jumpered differently when they are the only drive in a PC. In other words these drives have one jumper setting for SLAVE, one for MASTER with a SLAVE present and one for MASTER, single (only) drive. Check your jumpers against the exact settings for "that" drive...
