Thing is he can play DVDs off his disk drive. Only problem is when installing onto hard drive. We've tried many different IDE cables and yes they are set to slave and master as he only has one IDE port, however changing the cable dosn't solve the problem.
I pressume it must be that his hard drive is faulty, but I guess it could be the IDE connector on the motherboard..?
