Dual Hard Drive Boot Delay
« on: July 14, 2006, 04:41:00 AM »

Well, since there was no reply to this topic there must not be too many people running two hard drives with a switch. Even so, I though I'd post what I think is the solution/cause of the boot problem. It seems that Western Digital drives don't play well in a dual drive configuration. I replaced the WD with a maxtor and both drives worked perfectly with the switch. Hope this helps someone that may have the same problem.

I don't understand why people have problems with WD hard drives.  I use the xtender mod with three 320gb hard drives and i've never had any boot problem or any of the other problems  that other people have experienced.  who knows.... blink.gif
