I have purchased a new 250 gig drive and I am having problems putting it in my system...

1st IDE cable - (CS) WD HD, (CS) Maxtor HD (This new maxtor has been formated)
2st IDE cable - (Master) CD-Burner, (Slave) DVD-Burner

onboard SATA - 2 WD Raptors on RAID 0

The problem is I once I add the new Maxtor HD, it decides to f*** up and not boot to windows I get a hall.dll error...::Shrug:: whats the deal here???!?!?!

450 ANTEC Powersupply

Anyone can help me out??? sad.gif
peachy
Now that your primary IDE channel has a hard drive you will need to change the boot order in your BIOS to boot from the SATA Raptor drive first. It's defaulting to trying to boot the Maxtor.

although..I've tried that..it doesn't make sense..I set the first boot device to SCSI, HD-0, HD-1, HD-2,HD-3.....left the 2nd boot device to CDROM, then 3rd to Floppy...still gave me error :-\ damnit...so weird

I tried even putting in an IDE controller card..SAME problems...soooo....

I ended up doing a format on the other OS drive...and a few other things...got it to work
I needed a format BAD anyways.. :-p It's all good :-D
