here's an update.
i left everything alone until this morning.
i re-arrange the ide connections of the hard drives.
on the mobo ide connection, i had 2-160gb's, and on the pci card's ide
1-160gb,1-250gb.
this morning i disconnected the 2nd 160gb connected to the mobo, and instead...
i'll have to try that, thanks.
what i don't get is, with the old 300w psu, it would start up flawlessly with a total of 4 hard drives connected. now, with a new hard drive---nothing, even after upgrading to a better psu......... :confused:
this machine has raid on the mobo. but i didn't want to use the raid feature, so i installed
a pci card that runs the second set of hard drives.
now, keep in mind, that this set-up was working for over a year flawlessly---- but i took out
the 80gb, and replaced it with the 250gb.
also...
