Default [Pending] multiple o/s boot problems

i am running xp pro on main hard drive, and have installed a second hard drive which is running xp pro both are dynamic disks and when i boot up i do not get an option to choose which o/s i want to use i have tried downloading osl 2000 this works fine the first time i run it but after a re start it locks up on the searching for devices screen, after reading help files again i may be getting problems because i have a raid utillity? i have disabled raid drivers in windows device manager, but keep getting same problem i have to uninstall osl 2000 using uninstall floppy i created during install. any ideas?

Hi Rik,

Welcome to PCHF. We have a wonderful group of techs here, and I am sure that our hardware gurus will be able to help you figure out what you are missing.

I am concerned about your choice of screennames however, it isn't a good idea to use your email addresss. Please choose something else, and post it back here, I will ask the administrator to change it for you.

In the mean time, I am sure that one or several of our hardware gurus will be available to help you shortly,

Look forward to your new screenname.

TTFN

LGW

I will PM Hengis, and ask him to change it.

He may also be able to help you with this dual boot scenario.

Glad you decided to join, I look forward to seeing you in the forums.
