problems installing 2nd HD

I already have a SATA drive as my main drive. I just installed an IDE, put the jumper on CS (cable switch), the bios recognizes the drive. In windows, a new drive is added. The first time I tried formatting it, at the end of the format, it stopped and told me windows can not complete the format, and the blue screen appears. I tried formatting again, but on quick format, and it said the same thing. Tried with safe mode, and same thing, except it doesn't go blue.

what's the matter?

 

hmm seems like the HD is defect. it does the same thing on my bro's computer

oh well....

 

Blue Screen? Error messages?

Instead of CS try Master or Slave, check cables.

Run the HDD manufactures Free Diagnostic utility.

 

no, I tried master and slave. there is the same problem on my bro's computer. the HD's defect

 

try to format it throwg the command prompt.
format x: /fs:ntfs where x is a letter of you drive.
