removing second drive
ok guys need a quick response here i just removed a second HD from my comp as i' selling it tomorrow to a mate, and it booted up but crashed the first time after and now it just paused before it even gets to the windows screen. Can't get in bios as it stops before i can get it. Removed all programs from the second drive. What do i need to do, cause checked the connections and none are loose so what have i done and how to fix it!!!.

Try clearing the cmos.
The instructions should be in your manual. I take it there are no beeps and that you can't tell what it's checking for when it freezes? If clearing the cmos won't do it then it's time to post your specs and do 'out of the case' troubleshooting.

Guessing you mean you took out the second drive and can't bootup without it?
Check the jumper settings on the main drive. Some have settings for Master WITH Slave or Master - no other drives...

yeah it's my computer i'm selling hard drive with windows on. I managed to fix it but don't know how long for. I booted using the windows cd, and ran repair on it using check disk. this seems to have fixed it, any idea why this happened in the first place??

Perhaps you need to run manufacturer's diagnostics on the hard drive before you finish the deal - it may be a bad drive.
