I got my answer, for those that read this in th future. My problem was that when you take of the plugs behind the hard you have to make sure you put them back exactly. Something about primary and secondary slave plug & ribbons.  |

Most computers can be fitted with two hard drives, as long as they're designated properly as primary and slave drives. Failure to create those designations, and you encounter goofy problems such as yours. -  |

Hey boom-boom I was typing up a reply in word, but see you've fixed your problem. On computers I build, I generally prefer to put any IDE devices I have on cable select instead of specifically designating each one as master or slave. SATA 1/2 doesn't even use m/s/cs pins at all. I had an Asus motherboard that wouldn't detect things correctly until I put the IDE drives on cable select, but something in the default factory BIOS might have been boogered up from the get-go. I just keep using the CS setting out of habit. ~ Cabbage Knight Also, always make sure your power supply unit is enough to power your current hardware setup, or the computer may not power up similar to this. |

Glad you got it fixed. I am no good with hard drives and stuff. Did you figure it out on your own?  |
