i built my computer 3 weeks ago and here are the specs:
A8N-SLi deluxe
AMD64 3500+
corsair 2x512 RAM
WD 200 gig HD
aspire x-infinity
aspire 520 psu
Well last friday i ordered a new hard drive, the WD raptor from newegg and recieved it 2 days ago. My friend and I tried to install that HD with the 200 gig one. I connected the SATA cable into the mobo and the psu cable. It didnt show up after trying the "add new hardware" in the control panel. So i went one the anandtech forums and it told me to go to the disk management tool and i was able to reformat the HD and get it to show up on my computer.
But I wanted windows to run off of the raptor so i went and reformat it for windows and when i tried it there was an error when i tried to boot up. "error loading OS" I thought maybe it was the HD but my friend took it home and the same thing happened to him. Any solutions? Ill write an RMA if it is a defective HD...
