Ok, I've been in hell for the past few days and I still don't know what is up.
Basically all I had planned on doing was switching from one case to another.. simple right? Well ever since then I've had numerous problems.
To make a long story short.. I am to the point now where one of my hard drives won't read..and my cd-rw won't read. I can live with that.. My other 2 hard drives are reading and my dvd-rw is reading as well.
So I finally get it put back together thinking it was going to be fine now, minus the failed hard drive (I think at least) and cdrw. So I go to install windows and it starts loading the first screen (blue one) very slow.. all the dlls and what not. So after about 30 minutes of the first screen.. which it shouldn't take that long.. It finally gets to the point where you reboot and then you come to the configuration part of the install. However, mine decides to come to the screen 'reboot and select proper media device' .. or something to that effect.
IF I leave the cd in there while it reboots, it just comes back to the first install screen asking if u want to delete partition etc. Yet it shows the install i JUST did as part of the first drives partition.
So I am really in a bind because I have no idea what the hell is going on. I Don't understand why it would load so slow for one, and I was thinking maybe it was the hard drive..yet it shows the hard drive retaining all the information.
I was also thinking possibly it is the motherboard? But I have no idea.
Specs just incase..
Asus p4p800se
2.4ghz -.- slowness
3 hard drives..2 WD, 1 maxtor(trying to load os on)
dvd-rw,cd-rw
9800pro..
nothing to fancy but i just have no idea what is up..any help will be appreciated,
Thanks,
Ryan
