hello,
i recently put my computer back together and i could not get it to boot up. when it tries to boot up, it stops on a black screen with a white line flashing at the top left. i did some research and i found out that it is most likely a problem with the hard drive. since i have 2 hard drives i unplugged one to see which one is the master and slave. what i found out was very weird. with the master drive connected the black screen would show up. and without the master drive the computer would boot up all the way and shut down after 10-20 seconds. maybe i got it all wrong and i just want to confirm; the master drive is the one with the small jumper right? when i unplugged the drive with the jumper the computer booted up all the way but before that it gave me a message saying that the master is not plugged in and asked if i want to continue, i pressed F1 to continue and it booted up.
for the second problem: the computer still shuts down after 10-20 seconds without the master plugged in. what am i supposed to do?
