I am having 2 hard disks in my system. But I do not want to see data of second hard disk to 1st hard disk?

Question

I am having two hard disk in my machine. One hard is having opearating system as Windows XP and another one is having Windows 2000 Server.

During boot up of machine I choose from which hard disk, have to boot my machine. If i boot my machine from my 1st hard disk then it is showing data of another hard disk with drives of another hard disk like C:\, D:\ E:\, J:\.k:\

1st Hard Disk : C:\ , D:\, E:\, OS = Windows XP
2nd Hard Disk : C:\, D:\, E:\, F:\, J:\, K:\, OS = Windows Server 2000

I am wondering how it is happening. Once it is happening then keeping 2 hard disks in my machine no use. If virus comes in 1st hard disk then it will move very easily to another hard disk.

Could you guide me how to stop reading of data of another hard disk in one hard disk?

Answer 1

You might want to adjust the jumper settings on your hard drives. The one that you use the most should be the 'master', and the second hard drive should be set to 'slave'. This should solve your problem.

The drives should align up with C:\ through E:\ on the first disk, and your second showing up as f:\ though k:\.

Hope this helps. Piddling around with the jumpers on your hard drives can lead to some interesting results. Keep track of what you are doing with a notebook.
