Hello,
I have been just added a second HD to my machine and tried to boot up, but it fails.
All I have done is add another hard drive, not touched the existing one, and it only gets to the apple logo, but then I don't get a little loading indicator.
I have tried booting up holding option, then selecting my HDD, yet this seems to take forever, and I just gave up and did power off by holding the power button.
When I take out the secondary hard drive, so that only the primary is in, then it boots fine and works as usual.
I have also booted up using the OS X install DVD and formatted the secondary HDD.
I can remember doing this and it working fine before.
Does anyone have any ideas? as I would love to have another, for backup purposes.
My specs are: PowerMac G4 400mhz - 512 mb RAM - 128 gb (primary) - 20 gb (secondary, the one I am trying to get to work)
Thanks!!

EDIT: I am using OS X 10.4.11
