Hi Guys
I got my new motherboard yesterday. Did the whole transplant.
turned on the machine and fixed some little issues like the gfx card that wasn't placed down completely lol.
Then i got a HDD issue and this is where I still stand.
i have a Biostar GF7050V-M7, Core2Duo e6420, 1GB DDR800, nVidia 7800GTX, IDE LG DVDRW, IDE 160GB HDD(dads gonna take it back after im done
), SATA 320GB HDD and a 400Watt PSU.
So, just before windows screen was suppossed to appear, i got a error saying "a disk read error has occurred press CTRL+ALT+DEL to restart", and i thought ok maybe I just have to reinstall windows as always with a new motherboard, so i format my C: drive(got a partition consisting of C(10GB) and D(the rest)) and it starts copying the setup files, after that it does the restart to begin the setup, it asks to press any key to load the cd, obviously i dont hit any keys, same error message appears... I'm like WTF!? do it again, the same happens, remove the 320GB SATA. try again. still the same error.
so i think ag F this i thing I'll setup my 320GB now then I can transfer my fiiles off the 160GB and give it to my dad, so thats done...
so I remove the 160GB plug back the 320GB, I leave the file system intact since i don't want to loose the stuff on that drive. It starts copyiong the files, restarts....ask the hit any key questioin again, i don't hit any keys again. after that last fullstop for waiting for me to hit a key, it stays there, i wait.... nothing, i press C+A+D, restarts, I go into the bios, remove the cd rom from startup list, restarts, obviously now it dont ask me to hit a key, but again, nothing, it just satys there.
HELP!!!! Anyone that knows WTF is going on....
I'm actually hoping someone will give me an answer that will make me kick myself for being stupid, something like "there's a setting in the bios that you have to disable/enable" LOL
wishfully thinking.
