I recently installed a new NVIDIA graphics card. And more RAM. Have run into problems soon after.
My machine is a 3200 Atheolon with an NVIDIA motherboard.
Hard disks. 1 ) SATA 160 GB (primary sata)
2) 80 GB IDE (dont know whether master or slave)
3) 80 GB IDE (dont know whether master or slave)
4) DVDRW (dont know master/slave status)
I have run into problems now, in the sense that when I boot through the SATA disk, it rejects the other 2 IDE disks.
Even the boot up process is unstable now. I am never sure whether the PC will boot up the next time.
The problem is I cannot disconnect the IDE disks from the system because my bootup system is a complex mess....all 3 disks (SATA and 2 IDEs) need to be connected to the PC for the boot screen to show up...because its a triple boot system. With 2 winXPs on the SATA and one winXP on one IDE disk.
PLEASE HELP. THIS IS URGENT.
