Agh.. I've spent the past 2 hours trying to get a new SATA cd-rom installed on a new computer I'm building for a friend..
It has a 160g WD HDD SATA drive and a PATA dvd-r/rom drive in it already..
When I boot up with the cd-rom, the computer loops over the memory check and doesn't let me enter the BIOS.. I've disconnected and tried to change the boot order, even disabling the boot option for the cd-rom drive.. and when I plug it back in.. it loops over and over..
I've also tried loading Windows completely up and plugging it in while the computer is on.. (dumb i know, but desperate).. and the drive registered properly and came up.. then when I tried a reboot.. same thing as before.. loop of the memory check.. can't enter BIOS..
Anyone have suggestions?
