Thank you again:)

Woo Hoo:)!!!!!!!!!! Now the bios is registering both. Okay this is how it happened. Switched Hdd to IDE 2 connector on mobo, started it up nothing registered. Then went into bios, changed Parallel ATA: from Primary to both. Rebooted, then it showed in bios. Then I connected cd/dvd-rom to IDE 1...

Sorry I didn't know you posted already. There are two ide connectors on the mobo. IDE 1 and IDE 2. Currently the hdd is connected to IDE 1. And there are two SATA connectors on the mobo aswell.

Okay I tried all 3 of the different settings and nothing. I left the jumper on the master and tried booting again and the bios still won't detect the cd/dvd-rom

Yes I have the cd/dvd-rom hooked up on the old cables and kept the hdd on the cables it's working on and no the bios still doesn't see it. I took the jumper off completley and rebooted and the bios still doesn't see it. I will try the other two settings and report back lol.:)

okay, the bios is detecting the hdd now!!!! Sorry if this sounds stupid but how should i install the cd/dvd-rom now? I tried hooking it up to the ide cable i originally connected to the ide hdd and it's not registering in the bios?? The way unit is set up inside I can't connect hdd and...

Okay so while I was waiting for your reply I tried changing where the hdd is connected on the ide ribbon cable from the middle to the end. After I booted up it got passed the post and looked like it was booting in xp. When I selected xp to start I got this error message, I think it's the BSOD...

Hey alaa_ecv_tc and thanks for your reply. That's what I thought, I cannot understand what the problem is with it. Yes I removed the vista hdd(sata) and connected the xp hdd(IDE) to the lenovo using the same IDE ribbon cable from the dell.

Hi guys, I have a Lenovo Desktop 3000 J series from 2007. It has vista home basic installed on 1 sata drive. It is very, very slow. I tried doing the usual to get some more performance out of it, such as clearing the desktop, removing the pre installed norton and installed f-secure, removed...

Hello all, As you can guess I'm new to TF and I'm new to computers aswell. I'm currently studying A+ at home. In the beginning I will probably be asking more than answering but once I get a little more experience under my belt I would like to help out as much as I can.:D
