hi there,
just set up a new computer with a gigabyte p35 ds3r with 2gb of 6400 and e2180 cpu
installed the SATA drive ok.. its a samsung spinpoint.. and its sitting in IDE 0 Master
however when i try to stick my older IDE drive in things get strange
it recognises the drive, but the POST is very slow.
when the windows startup screen comes up (after a good minute) it just does nothing.. it doesnt seem to hang.. just stuck in a loop or something
im not sure its wholly a windows problem because of the time it takes to finish POST.. have tweaked with some of the obvious settings in BIOS but nothing is happening for me.
tried setting the ide drive to master..slave.. no difference.. whenever i connect it up it just hangs
any ideas?
