| 675888 | 2008-06-05 10:43:00 | Recently, I installed a 120G harddrive to my computer, which has a 20G and a 10G already. When I installed the harddrive, and had my computer started up, I saw that the hardrive was in My Computer, and so was happy. But my 10G has not been working properly since then. :badpc::crying All the programs installed on it weren't working, and pop-up windows saying 'System write delay,' and saying all the information on that particular program's (each one had it's own (Office 2003, CCleaner, etc.)) information was lost. All of the files were there, so I assume it was current, unsaved work. I am using XP Home. Please help:help: |

| 675889 | 2008-06-05 12:00:00 | What drive letters do the 120G and 10G have? Did the 120G take the letter that was previously used by the 10G? | PaulD (232) | ||
| 675890 | 2008-06-05 20:20:00 | 120G = (R: ) 10G = (D: ) 20G = (C: ) |

| 675891 | 2008-06-05 22:00:00 | Are any of the drives set to Cable Select or are they properly set up as Master & Slave (if you're using IDE)? I usually get that error on my laptop if my external drive isn't getting enough power for whatever reason. What spec is the PSU in your PC? If your previous drives were 10 & 20GB then I guess its pretty old & may need a power supply upgrade. |

| 675893 | 2008-06-06 04:51:00 | The 120G is on Cable Select, but the 20G is Master, and 10G is Slave. What spec is the PSU in your PC? I just installed a brand new (115/230V Output: 300W) power supply in a couple of months ago. |

| 675894 | 2008-06-06 04:53:00 | I would get something better than 300W 400+ at least |
