Hm, i seem to be getting problem after problem today. Now i've taken a hard drive from one computer to another.
This hard drive is on an IDE cable aswell as a DVD rom, the Hard Drive has the jumpers as Master, and DVD rom has the jumpers as slave.
But when i try to boot up the computer i get stuck in BIOS, on the Detecting IDE Primary Master, it can't seem to find the Hard drive or the DVD ROM.
I've gone into setup to autodetect and it's the same result there.
I've tried a different IDE cable, and i have also tried to just have the Hard drive boot, it doesn't detect it still. I've also tried to slot the IDE cable into the second slot.
The hard drive is practically new, i took it from the packaging into a computer, which i then installed Slackware on, i believe i formatted it again though. So it should detect the Hard drive but it doesn't..
Any ideas? Thanks
