when i switch on my pc it picks up my slave drive (maxtor 4D060H3) as a maxtor romulus and then says hard srive check error and asks me to press F1 to continue. this is very annoying so i told it there was no slave drive and it still works fine in windows, problem is i will soon be using this as my master and am worried it wont work
it started doing this when i had to clear the bios using the jumper cos it wouldnt boot. the mobo is msi k7t turbo2

Have you got S.M.A.R.T enabled in the bios this is for ard drive error detection, try disabling it if it is enabled.

you dont understand everything is right and it was working fine until i had to clear the bios
its been working like this since June then i overclocked the fsb too much tested it on 149, seemed fine 150 no power, cleared the bios and it started doing this at startup

In my experience, if you have two masters, two slaves or no master, the motherboard fails to POST.
yes it will ????.

Your system will just not POST if the jumpers are wrong, heh.
Make sure the jumpers on the hard drives are set properly, with the hard drive that is on the end of the ide cable (should be the one you boot from) set to master and the other hard drive on the next cable down set to slave and not cable select, on most hard drives with one jumper on them master is set nearest IDE and slave is remove jumper all together, you will have to look at your hard drive.

You shouldn't have two HDDs slave to each other you know, it reduces performance and increases the chance of Windows tripping over itself.
i forgot to mention it works fine in windows after this, i am just worried about using it as the master drive
still havent got around to trying it as the secondary master

Well, I try and do my best :)
You drive will probably be fine though :)

it is on autodetect, if i go into the bios and hit detect again it picks it up fine, its just the initial boot when i hit power that it does this, will try it as master on the secondary ide connection now
