| 653271 | 2008-03-27 07:11:00 | Refer to the last post for link.. get the SATA drivers .. maybe your motherboard needs them as well ... :) Any reason why the newer HDD is IDE over SATA? I would think that SATA is newer tech.. In the bios have you "enabled" SATA? Mine has that option ..... Yes - food for thought there! Yes, I agree that SATA is newer technology, but I didn't want to 'fiddle' with the SATA drive - I was quite happy with what was on it. Moving things around was going to get a bit complicated. Previously I had a IDE drive with OS on it and the SATA drive as a secondary. I didn't expect problems... Yes - I'll go back to the Gigabyte site and re-get those drivers. Bios - that strikes terror in the heart! :) |

| 653272 | 2008-03-27 07:21:00 | Go into the BIOS and in one of the headings there should be something along the lines of SATA and in brackets something like disabled or enabled... Does the SATA show up on bootup in that black screen? Oh .. if the SATA before was secondary .. then .. unless you altered the BIOS it should not be the issue. Try the drivers :D |
