Have 2 HDD's in my computer One is 100GB with all data. other is 30 gGB with NO data. It is a formatted but empty drive. When I attempt to remove the drive my computer will not go thru the Drive detection stage in the BIOS. If it does get thru this after long time then XP will not load. but when the drive is reinstalled the computer works fine. any suggestions

Did you reset your BIOS configuration? If your BIOS expects a drive to be there, then it is just going to sit there. Go into your BIOS and make sure the Primary/Secondary Master and slave drives are all set to "Automatic", and that should do it.
