XP Pro won't recognize 2nd HD

Attempting to install 2nd Seagate HDD. Followed instructions and removed jumper to set up HDD as slave.

Instruction booklet tells me to go to CMOS setup and perform some actions but I can't get to CMOS during startup sequence. Have tried F1, F8, Shift, Delete and Escape and am stymied.

Any hlep?

Thanks in advance!

 

Hi mbcannon2

If it happends to be a Compaq try F10.

If that doesn't work, watch your screen as it boots. In the lower left corner there will be a line of text that will tell you how to get into the setup. It may help to have your finger over the pause button so you can stop it in place while you read. To continue, hit the space bar or the key it has told you to use for entering setup.
