Errors on Boot-Up (SOLVED)

[Bill Kuns]

Dear Mr. Stevens:

Thanks for your reply.

I installed two WD 1TB Hard Drives when I put my new computer together.
I am having difficulty getting Fedora to recognize and access both of
them.
(See emails "Two HDs").  Both of these HDs are new.

I removed the second HD and those errors no longer occur on boot-up.
This
tells me that the second HD is the cause of the errors.

Thanks for your help.

Sincerely,
