i just built my bro a comp and replaced everything except the HD's. It was supposed to be a fresh install so i just swapped out the parts and attempted to re-install windows on the existing HD's.
windows gets all the way to the press F6 screen to install third party blah blah. after it loads all those files it goes to the blue screen of death and says HD's corrupted or something to that effect.
both are PATA HD's :
Quantum fireball 30GB (pretty old)
WD Caviar (120GB) (brand new, just bought)
New Components:
Asus A8n-SLI Deluxe
AMD Athlon 64 3500+
Mushkin 2x512 GB RAM
EVGA 7900 GT KO
Plextor DVD Burner
generic floppy drive
Ultra Power supply 500w
i've tried all combinations of the HD's (master, slave, one HD at a time, etc..)and cant get anything to work. help please!!
