origionally, my hardrive was a slave, so i had no primery master.
i got my new hardrive and used the seagate utility disk to install it.
so:
computer on, puts utility cd in, utility ask me to take cd out( so i did), computer turns off.
now i put the new hardrive in.
so both hard drives are "cable select" and my new hardrive became the master.
the computer booted, and the the utility program started and asked if i wanted the new hardrive as additional storage.
i said yes, then it told me i nedd to hit the "erase" button cause there might be files on the hardrive, so i did.
the computer restarts, and now it gives ne the message: "error loading os"
heres what i have tried:
-returning my computer to it origional setting (my old hd as cable select slave)
-making my old hd the prime-master, and the new hd slave
needless to say, non of it works.
i made sure in bios it boots from "hdd-0", but that dont seem to be the problem.
how can i fix this, i dont want to loose all my data in my old hd, or do i want to have to reinstall all my programs and crap.
please help me!!
