I tried to add another hard disk to my PC by removing the CD ROM.. The booting process steps upto "Search Boot Record from IDE Drive ... OK" and stops. Plz let me know how to add another hard drive to a PC to access it's data?

The 2nd HardDisk is called slave.
Place the jumper on this HardDisk in the slave position and attach,the instructions will be given on the HDD.
