Ok one of our registered are work got all screwed up, - and after much screwing with it, and almost fixing all the errors the hdd went south, and so here I am trying to put a new hdd in it.
Grabbed a WD 320gig SATA hdd (WD3200KSRTL). Popped that in there, connected it up. POST sees it. But when I get to actually installing windows I get "setup could not find hard disk".
Do some searching find out I need to load the SATA drivers either via a floppy drive (which it doesn't have) or slipstreaming. Find this nice guide here for slipstreaming. Add drivers for network and SATA from here. Boot it up: "setup could not find hard disk".
Ok back go google. Do some digging, and acording to the manual for that mobo, it only supports SATA 1. So I find the the jumper settings for the WD3200KSRTL hdd and put my jumper on pins 5 & 6, which should limit it to 150 Gbps, effectively making it SATA 1. Load up again: "setup could not find hard disk".
So attached is the hardware profile created by PartionMagic on the UBCD. That should have all the info on the system.
Ok so I'm hoping there is someone on here with an answer, as I have about had it with this machine
