I installed my newly bought WD HDD, I was able to get into my XP system for the first 2 times, and the disk is ok. I quick checked the HDD using life guard, everything's fine. Then without installing the driver, I set the mycomputer\device manager\Serial controller properties\sercondary channel\transfer mode\ FROM let the BIOS decide TO SATA Generaltion 2 or 3G, then it asked my to reboot the comp, then I rebooted.
Then, I can't get into the OS! I removed my new hardrive by unplug it, I can get into the system, but since I unplugged it, I wasn't able to change the transfer mode back as everything is grey (duh!)
So I'm here to ask: Is it a hardware or a software problem?
If it's software, can I change the settings back in registry or something?
You know, Windows is retarded in some aspect, or it could be my WD driver, because my system disk is also a WD one.
My guess is, it sorta goes like this: if you upluged the HDD, the settings is left to a wrong value, but once you plugged it in, Windows will load the corresponding driver/settings that isn't correct.
I can see the windows loading screen, but I just cant get in!
In order to get into my system, I need to change the setting, but in order to change the setting back, I need to get into my system first! ZOMG this catch 22 situation is really driving me nuts!
Can anyone help me! I'm desperate!
