Hello everyone,
I've been curently fixing my fathers computer for over a year now, I've thought I knew a lot about computers until I starting working on this piece of junk.
Let me explain the situation.
The computer is a custom built computer, from a dead guy. Ya you heard me right. He built the computer and 2 weeks later he died. Therefore the builder cannot help, so I'm hopping you can.
Hear are the specs before I continue:
Motherboard: A7V8X REV 1.xx (asus)
Biosversion: ASUS A7V8X ACPI BIOS Revision
3gb of ram
Radeon 7000 graphics
Processor: AMD athlon
Primary drive: FUJITSU MPF3102AT ( 9.54 GB) (IDE
Secondary drive : Samsung Promise 1+0 Stripe/RAID0 SCSI Disk Device (232.88 GB) (SATA)
Now the way the dead guy set it up, is he put the smaller hardrive just for Windows and wanted to set up the larger hardrive so everything would automaticly save to the larger hardrive (programs, files ect)
What did happen was he was falling ill so he didnt realise his mistake, I realised it soon after my parents were complaining the computer was getting slower, at that time buddy was already dead.
So what I've been trying so desperatly to do, was to make the samsung hardrive as a primary (SATA), but everytime I go into bios, it never shows up.
When I try to set up the boot setting, the only harddrive it will recognise is the IDE.
I don't mind resetting the entire computer, and yes it has been assigned a letter, in fact this post is brought to you by the letters "F"ML lol
So I plain and simply need help hear, I'm getting to the point on sabotaging the computer so they just buy a new one, but I'm very stubborn like most techs, so its hard just to give up on something you worked so hard and long on. ( calculated almost 50 hours into this computer, on more various problems then this don't get me wrong).
Moral of this post is "Don't buy a computer from a dead guy!! lol"
So in the end I was wondering is anyone can help me out here!, or if sabotage is the next step.
Thanks,
