Hello, i am currently running windows xp pro, and have 2 hardrives main (hitachi 160gb) for system and programmes and a secondary (Maxtor 250gb) for my documents etc. i have found that with the secondary hd plugged in then the boot time for my computer is considerably slower than if i just had my main hd in. i have tried another smaller hd in as my secondary and the problem does not occur. i have run speedtests on both hds and my main is running fine and is up to speed but my secondary is reading and writing at about 2mbs which well below the expected speed at which is should be running, can anyone help me sorta out this problem.
thanks
