I just recently sold my comp and kept the hdd and cpu, which I moved back to their previous home in an Abit AG8. The hdd worked perfectly and nothing has happened to the Ag8 since I originally removed the stuff from it (it's been sitting in my bedroom unplugged).
Now when I try to boot it up I get "Error loading operating system" right after "Verifying DMI pool".
I've tried:
1. Changing from "auto" to "large" in the HDD settings in bios
2. booting from the xp cd (get the same error)
3. unplugging everything but the boot HDD
4. resetting the Bios to defaults
5. Changing the port the HDD is plugged into
6. Changing from SATA power to molex power plug
7. changing SATA cords
No matter what I do I still get the same "error loading operating system" error.
