Will not boot if more than one hard drive plugged in.
I had to do some serious reinstall things. Processor died, had to put in a newer...used one. I checked my ... BIOS/Setup thing, and there was not IDE or Sata choosing for boot order. I have it set up as 1. dvd rom 2. hard drive 3 and 4 are disabled.
Everything worked FINE before I put in the processor, and a new vidcard. All of a sudden, it just "lost" windows, or it wouldn't boot up anyway and had to reinstall. Luckily, found places on here to get help with that because it couldn't make a system..thing, but everything is installed now.
The way it is set up is Windows 7 is C: and system reserved is D: (I wasn't sure, but the tutorial said that may be helpful so I did it)
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate x64
Hardware:
mobo: Asus M2N32-SLI Deluxe
proc: AMD dual core 64 bit 3.01G
8G RAM
hard drive with windows is Western Digital 250G
what I need to hook up, at the least is a WD 1T and the other 500G would be nice, but not necessary. I am by no means a tech, but I can follow instructions pretty well.
I also just noticed that in my device manager it has a bunch of the yellow exclamation points, including one for the mass storage controller, could this have something to do with it?
Thank you in advance for any help.
