When you had both drives hooked up to your computer and did the file
transfer the machine recognized both hard drives. Your C drive was jumpered
to be the master and the D drive was configured to be a slave. When you
removed your C drive you have to set the jumpers on the D drive to make it
the master. Your CMOS will then recognize it. Most hard drives have info
on the case to tell you how to hardware jumper your drive.
Hope this helps. Marlowe
