-I have two WD SATA hard drives. 74gig Raptor and 320gig Caviar

-Power outage turned off my computer, it's on a surge protector

-Turned it on again and played a game, it froze during the game

-Reset and it wouldn't get past the Windows XP loading screen

After some troubleshooting, I found out that I could only get past the loading screen if I disconnected the Caviar. But I could go into safe mode with the Caviar connected and use both hard drives.

I have an Asus mobo. Thanks for any help.
