Hi
I changed my PC case, motherboard, installed another dvd drive and Hard disc. I installed windows XP onto one of the HD which is a SATA drive ( connected to onto SATA 1) and connected one dvd drive (primary) onto IDE connector 1, however when I connect the 2nd HD via IDE connector 2, I keep getting this error message "NTLDR is missing". When I installed both the DVD drives on another MB, the PC did not start.
I don't think my configeration is correct and I would like to find out the correct configeration please (i.e which IDE connectors 1 or 2 to use for dvd drives and HD drive and SATA connectors 1 or 0) and which one should be master and slave), BIOS settings and set up please and how to deal with this error message.
The specs are:
Gigabyte GA-81PE1000-G motherboard
P4 3.2, 800FSB CPU
Corsair TWINX 3200 C2PT memory
ATI Radeon X700 PRO 256MB AGP X8
Hitachi Deskstar 7K250 160GB SATA - Windows XP installed
Hitachi Deskstar 80GB IDE - ? (error: NTLDR is missing)
Pioneer DV108 dvd drive - currently installed as master in IDE 1
Pioneer DV110 dvd drive - ?
Sony Floppy Disc Drive
Many Thanks.
