New Sata Harddrive Problem

StrangleHold · 01-06-2007, 06:50 PM

Just a thought, I had a guy bring me a computer with the same thing going on. He had XP on a 80gb SATA and bought a 120gb for storage, pluged in same thing. When he built the computer he had pluged the SATA into the SATA2 slot, when he got his new drive he pluged it into the SATA1 slot, so now the computer tries to boot to the SATA1 slot with the blank drive, all I had to do was change the boot order or just swap the SATA cables around.

get the ultimate boot disk, it has seagate and western digital drive formatting programs on it

if i were stranded on a deserted island, and could only have one thing with me, it'd be the ultimate boot disk
