ShadowPaktu Posted September 26, 2004 Posted September 26, 2004 is it set to 'boot from SATA' as your primary boot device in BIOS? If that doesnt work, set your primary as 'SCSI', some machines only boot form SCSI even if it is sata, still, dont worry bout which one. Also, make sure that when you installed you unplugged any ide hdd, plug them back in after you have installed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiPolar Posted September 26, 2004 Posted September 26, 2004 Hmm. Sev- I got through that part. installed sata drivers and windows inital format/install setup files worked fine. After the restart when the actual set up begins is where the problem is. shadow - I unplugged the ide, and tried loading with bios set to load scsi and to load sata...neither worked. just a plain black screen after the "setup is inspecting hardware..." GRR! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
