building a new intel rig - wanted to get used to ddr2 and intel before i take the conroe waggon ...
anyway , this are the specs :
Pentium D 805
Asus P5ND2 SLI (bios 0601, but problems were with 0501 as well)
2X512mb twinmos pc-4300(ddr2-533)
7800gtx
PCP&C 510W SLI
now, I had tons of problems with sata drive - w.d 250gb sata-II , 16mb cache , can't install xp on it - windows cd formats and copies files, and after it it restarts ... now im supposed to get the graphical interface of the setup - nothing ...
sometimes it just froze when formatting/copying files ... randomly ...
so i pulled an old 40gb ide drive and installed - everything's o.k ....
now i wanted to connect the 250gb as a second hard drive , it disconnects from time to time, can't write to it ... can't read from it ...
the 250gb drive have been tested on other rig and is fine ...
any Ideas ? let's solve this problem ... I have quite a few more for ya experts later !
thnx in advance !
