I had installed a slave drive installed with the idea of installing windows on it and installing Debian on the main drive. Installed windows and everything was working but there was something wrong there was some strange interaction between the two disks both had windows at this time. Since I didnt understand what was going on I removed the slave drive. That was when everything slowed down I contacted repair service and by telephone couldnt come up with anything except there was something wrong with the hard drive. Contacted the computer mfg and arrainged for a swap. When I removed the hard drive for shipment to the mfg I looked at the master jumper it didnt look right so I read the directions. The directions said that the master jumper should only be installed if a slave was present. Removed the jumper and reinstalled the drive all was well. You might check your master slave jumpers.
