ok I have a computer that is running a 2.4ghz P4
The mainboard is the Asus P4S533-X BIOS (Award V6.0)
I took aprt this comp and made a new one. I am now putting it back together and the old HDD that was in it as well as the new 160gb drive I just got for it dont work.
Now I put my windows XP pro disc in and it sees the drive and allowed me to format the HDD. when it was done and I removed the disc. I rebooted and it comes up that the HDD isnt there. I go into my BIOS and after a few secs it sees the HDD. Wester Digital 80 gig and then I tried it with the 160gig drive and it sees it.
My problem is when I boot my comp it doesnt see the drive is there and gives me the INVALID SYSTEM DISK ERROR. So I can not get to the windows install. I only use one drive. and the jumper is set to MASTER and the IDE cables I use are Ultra ATA-133 and I have an EIDE ATA Drive. WTF is going on??? lol
anyone have an idea on what to do?
