XP Pro says reboot when started

[ranger_cole]

Every time Xp Pro reboots or starts it says it has found new hardware and must reboot. I traced it to my slave hardrive formatted win 98 se fat32. Slave drive is a bootable drive and work fine. When this drive is removed the message goes away. In "Disk Management" you will see both as active hard disks. Disk 0 is the Primary drive (XP Pro). Disk 1 (win 98 se) is secondary storage.
Disk 1 is "Not Initialized". When I try to right-click on the "Disk 1" icon and select "Initialize" it fails at the end of the process.

check your bios to see if it supports dual boots. sounds likeit doesnt.

XP Pro says reboot when start

It has a boot menu F8 that allows you to boot from floppy, cdrom, ide0, ide1, etc. This function does work because I have booted from ide0 and ide1,
