I was wondering if you guys had any ideas on a problem I am having installing the new HDD I just purchased.
I have some troubleshooting skills and some aid from a buddy of mine but we are out of ideas.
First of all, here are the components:
New Drive: Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 1000GB 1TB SATA2 7200RPM 32MB Cache NCQ Hard Drive
OS: XP Service Pack 2
CPU: AMD Athlon 1800+
Board: EPOX 8RDA3+
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 80 GB IDE
The new 1T drive is detected when starting up but hangs at detection. There is an option to enter a RAID utility but this
does not work. From this screen all I can do is restart.
I am able to boot into XP again when restarting with the new drive unplugged.
I have updated the BIOS to the current version which I listed above hoping that this would alleviate the hang. This
obviously didn't work.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks!
