Where on your PC do you have your tracker folder? The error you got could be due to a couple of things:

1. You haven't extracted the tracker files from the downloaded zip file -> you need to extract everything from the zip before you use it
2. You haven't kept the files together as they came, i.e. you maybe moved one or two files out of their original folder or something -> everything needs to stay together as it was when downloaded
3. You have your tracker folder in a problematic location on your PC, where the tracker can't properly access its files -> see here for more details on that https://github.com/besteon/Ironmon-Tracker/wiki/FAQ-&-Troubleshooting#folderpermission-issues

everything has been extracted and the files are all in my secondary hdd (the one without os)

Have you resolved this issue @ErMormo ? If not, take a moment to re-read the 3 different possible solutions that Fellshadow provided. More often than not, one of these is the reason you are getting the issue.

If you still can't figure it out, i'll need to share more information about your setup. You'll need to provide us with info about where you are storing your files, since this error tends to indicate the Tracker cannot load/find the files on your computer. The more information you can provide, the better.
