Hi All,
This week i decieded to upgrade my final IDE drive to a Sata one. I had already replaced my second IDE drive with a 500GB sata a few months ago and had put the majority of documents i wanted to keep (Music/Photos/Work, etc)
This remaining IDE drive held the operating system (Windows XP). So i decided the best thing to do was just start a fresh with the Operating system on this new 160GB SATA drive.
So I plopped in it, unplugging the final IDE drive. I run up the Windows installer - first thing i notice is that it can't detect my 500GB. No worries i thought, i will just install the operating system now then figure out what is wrong with the drive later on.
Windows finished installing and then i notice that it had installed to drive "G" rather than "C"???!!!!
Why would it do this??? I have also had no luck in getting this 500GB one to work now...is there a connection?
Thanks in advance!
BTW My Motherboard is a ASUS M2V-TVM
