Ok Im hooking up my harddrive. This is the first time I have used a SATA 3GB/s Cable. Is that the only cord that goes from my Mobo to the HDD? Also From the PSU to the HDD I put the Molex and Serial connector. Correct?

Motoxrdude · 09-22-2006, 01:18 AM

An OS like windows XP.

Shootothrill · 09-22-2006, 01:21 AM

Shootothrill · 09-22-2006, 01:33 AM

Woudnt i need to install the Mobo Disc? The CD/DVD drive disc? Or do I do that after the OS is installed?

You should run the OS install first then the mobo crap,thats what i did.

Oh I can still turn it on with installing anything to make sure it turns on and stuff right?

Well I just tried turning it on. The power supply lights up and I click the power button and the LED blinks once but the comp doesnt come on. What could that mean?
