can't find my hard drive

[Brett J McLain]

Er yeah sorry, I mean BIOS not registry haha.  It shows up fine...when I 
tried unplugging my main 80gb drive, I tried booting twice to the other 
drive and it would just sit there after attempting to detect DMI 
settings or some such other thing.  I found it odd because I expected an 
"Operating System Not Found" error.
