again. I disconnect the slave drive and restore the factory condition again.
I left slave drive disconnected. I restart the computer its prompt insert
system disk. I insert the system recovery c.d. After finish restoring system
its prompt successfully restore system to start press any key. I press enter
key but my computer did not start . It prompts “DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT
SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER”

Yes my computer is working fine as it came from factory after I disconnect
the slave drive. But when I restart my computer its prompt boot from cd .
Then I put windows xp cd. Computer work fine without slave drive. But I
need my 500 gb hard drive to work . My original hard drive is only 7.79gb
left after put os xp.


OK, we seem to have a bit of a language problem here. Are you saying that
when you have the slave drive connected, Windows will not boot unless you
have the XP CD in the drive? If this is the case, check your boot priority
order in the BIOS and put the hard drive (Drive 0, not Drive 1) first.
