Hi Folks,
I have a bit of a wierd issue with my PC, and thought I would see if any of the forum members had seen (or even better resolved) such an issue before....
System is a self built....
Motherboard is :
Nforce 2 M7NCD (Biostar)
I have 1 IDE HDD with win XP on it (built on old system - repaired for new one).
2 IDE media devices (1xDVD+RW and 1xCDRW)
Nvidia FX5700 Gfx Card.
450w Dual Fan PSU
iCute Case (top and side fans)
I recently purchased a
Serial ATA raid card and a
160Gb SATA drive to do a re-install on, but I need to keep the data on the old drive....
I cannot get the system to stay up with both the drives active (booted from the IDE drive).
I have installed windows on the SATA drive, and done all the updates etc, but if I try to copy the data from the old IDE drive to the SATA drive, the system powers off...
System seems to be perfectly happy on with disk standalone, or when I am not stressing the SATA drive.
I intend to try booting from the SATA drive, and having the IDE drive as an additional drive, to copy the data, but wondered if anyone had seen this problem...
I dont think it is related to the amount of power required, as I have a 450w PSU (but I could be wrong)..
Any advice/guidance greatly appreciated.
Zovat
