Hello guys,
I have got a serious problem into my PC. I had an IDE dvd rom earlier in my pc. I have now bought a new sata dvd writer and also got one PCI to SATA card. Motherboard doesn't have Sata ports. I have WinXP Pro Installed in my IDE HDD.
I connected the Dvd writer as follows: Installed the Pci to sata card and then connected the sata cable from PCi card to dvd writer. pci card has also got one IDE connector slot but I have left it as it is.
After installing the card, i booted the system and installed the driver using my USB stick (dvd drive didn't get recognize so I copied driver from my laptop to usb stick and installed the drivers from usb stick to PC). After reboot now my system stuck with blue screen (same as we get after bad sectors in HDD). I get safe boot option but none of the options takes me ahead. I get simply that blue screen and system stuck.
I changed first boot device to SCSI and tried installing Fedora but system doesn't recognize the DVD drive.
Now I really don't have any way to either install the fresh OS or enter into the already existing Win XP. Please help, I need to fix my system to work on my project.
Thanks in advance.
