Holy Shit!

Im in pc crisis mode again! I just went through the most horrible computer experience ever. I was installing a M-Audio Revo and accidentally unplugged the hard drive from the controller pci card. I booted up without noticing and it said Operating system not found. Alright, no big deal, i figured i could just plug it back in, NOOOOOOOOO! I booted up again and right before windows was to begin loading, it just froze, nothing, nada, I couldn't do anything to fix it. So, hours later: I got a stroke of genius and decided to plug in an old 4GB hard drive and boot off of that. I worked, so i plugged the 20GB back in with it and installed WinXp onto the 20GB. So Im thinking everything is peachy until i realize that i can't unplug the 4GB without it saying "NTblah blah is missing, CNTR-Alt-Del to restart" So i plug to 4GB back in and start feeling happy, UNTIL, i realize that its running at half the speed it was without the 4GB drive in there. Something about it using 40 conductor cables instead of 80. I have no idea how to get rid of the 4GB and get the 20GB running faster. What do i do?! It takes 30 minutes to rip a cd on fast with Monkey Audio! 25 minutes to install a game, its horrible, everything is slow. The only good news is the Revo works perfectly.
