Re: Help needed ASAP: PC not booting
OK, I'm now starting to breathe again.
I started to panic badly as I have never spent more money on anything else so get kind of worried on these kinds of things, especially seeing I built it myself and it would be hell to take every part to pieces again and send back.
I opened it up. I checked the SATA cables and have pushed them in.
They seemed to go in just slightly more so the little devils seem to have gone walkies during the night !!!
I've just rebooted and it gives me this info on the Promise controller can not detect any IDE drives or something like that.
Anyway, once its done that it loads Windows. Phew.
I guess now I just have to turn off that Promise controller in the Bios.
Whats strange I guess, And I've had this since day one, is that my SATA drive has always been on IDE 3 for some reason in the Bios. Not as Primary IDE.
Anyway, Im at my desktop. (Thankgoodness) and am about to Backup.
Now I just want to figure out how the hell this happened in the first place as I know some products fail in the first couple of weeks after build but I've been running this system for over 4 months now and its stable.
Thanks all for your help. I feel a bit better now.
