flyingwolf Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 Could it be that your power supply is not powerfull enough.Freind of mine wnet and tried to put 8 sata drives in his pc with a 350 watt psu and couldnt figure out why it wouldnt boot.So what size psu do you have?Oh and prathapml your link no longer works.
