Ok, I bought a new motherboard, Processor, RAM, and Graphics card but planned on keeping the same HDD because it is a 300GB and has all my stuff on it. I AM NOT using a floppy drive. I built it and got an error during startup that said something along the lines of "floppy error, no 80 conductor. Press F1 to continue anyway". So.. I unplugged my 2nd HDD off the middle section of the IDE cable b/c I had been having trouble w/ this HDD and thought it was broken. So anyway I did this and got this error "Floppy disk(s) fail (40)" and I am given the option to press F1 to continue. When I do so it sits for a second saying Verifying DMI pool data and then I get a blue screen of death. I have attached screenshots of the process to better explain my situation. Im not sure if Its an IDE cable problem, if I need to reformat my HDD b/c I have made huge system changes, or what. Please help b/c I dont understand why its fussing about a Floppy Drive when I dont use one.
