Make sure the 2nd (non-boot) hard drive is set (jumpered) correctly as
slave/master (as appropriate to its location), and check BIOS setup to
ensure all settings regarding the 2nd drive are correct.  Does BIOS
autodetect the HD properly?  Have you actually used (stored/retrieved) data
from the drive while in Linux?  Have you tried without overclocking?

> 3. boot from a different disk with a different installation of NT.
> 4. changed my original 10GB disk to an 8GB one.
> 5. boot from the disk of another workstation that has a slightly
> different version of NT on it.
> 6. this problem occors in both SP1 and SP4.
> 7. Checked the Tepmreature (MB/Says it's 95F).
> 8. Turned off the IDE 1 controler from the BOIS and moved both disks to

> 9. All types of Linux boot OK with 2 disk's on the system and don't
