    Post problem with adding seconde hard drive

    Today I had a wonderful experience.

    I added a second IDE hard drive to a Windows 2000 Server system. Trying to be quick I went into "My Computer" and reformatted it NTFS from there. W2K asked for a reboot so I did.

    Upon reboot, after entering password, a message pops up saying there is no cache file or its too small. clicl OK and continue, hoping to resize it. after a few seconds I get another message saying a service or driver(s) didn't load please check Event Viewer. Right after that it starts saving the settings and goes back to the login prompt. Safe Mode same situation.

    Was I being to lazy by not using disk manager? Or is there a problem here?

    Is your boot partition bigger than 8GB.

    Have you unplag the HD , and see what happens.

    a good idea is to open Disk Administrator and check for any errors...

    well I'm not sure what happened but here's a fix:

    1. change the Swap File Size to "0" (my puter-> properties->advanced -? perf. options -> Change

    init size: 0
    max size : 0

    Press okay all the way (do not reboot !)

    2. open regedit

    go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Session Manager\Memory Management

    change ClearPageFileAtShutdown to "1"

    3. close regedit

    4. reboot

    5. change the Swap File Size to two times your RAM (my puter-> properties->advanced -? perf. options -> Change

    for 256MB RAM

    init size: 512
    max size : 512

    Press okay all the way - and Reboot

    6. open regedit

    go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Session Manager\Memory Management

    change ClearPageFileAtShutdown to "0"

    7. close regedit and reboot


    good luck
