You would THINK wouldn't you Dave ? :-)

I was/am setting up a new Windows XP Pro PC (HP) and I stuck a second drive
in. Seagate 80GB, jumpered correctly. So I thought I would see if XP come
set it up. I boot up and XP comes up fine. No "new hardware found" message.
I go to My Computer and all I have is C: I go to System and Hardware and it
shows two hard drives and BOTH are operational !

So I had to boot from my Seagate and let it set it up and then XP recognized
it...

That might explain a thing or two but then again wouldn't those components
fall under the plug-n-play category?  If so, I would think that Windows
would recognize the new components and attempt to install the correct
drivers?  I'm not so sure about the CPU and BIOS but this topic isn't
really about them.  Shouldn't it be able boot and get Windows started even
if everything didn't work quite right?
