Basically before i added the sata hd the computer booted up quickly finding all the drives and moved on quickly to the windows xp loading screen with the progress bar. Now when starting up the computer it takes a good 2 minutes to find all the drives and when it gets to the windows xp loading screen it takes another 5 minutes or so to finally find the drive with windows on it.
