Howdy,
I have a fairly new PC ( http://shop3.outpost.com/product/4650538#detailed ) that has 4 SATA ports. The original drive was is from the Western Digital SATA Caviar line http://www.westerndigital.com/en/products/Products.asp?DriveID=116&Language=en . Sadly this drive failed last weekend. I ran a utility to rebuild the master boot record, that did not allow the system to boot up. Now I am simply hoping to recover the data on it, so I picked up an identical drive, removed the old one and used the system restore DVD to recreate the system as originally configured. After that I plugged in the old drive and now every time the system boots, it tries to boot off the original drive. I've switched cables around without success and I can't seem to find anything in the BIOS for selecting the boot drive. What am I missing here?
Regards,
DM_Tim
