Hi all.
Im trying to get a new PC to work based on:
Vista 64 bit Home Premium OEM
Asus P5Q de luxe mobo
Intel Core2 E8500
OCZ Reaper 2 * 2 Gb DDR2
Asus EN9600GT video
WD Velociraptor WD1500HFLS HD (SATA)
Samsung Spinpoint F1 1Tb HD (SATA)
Samsung CD/DVD writer (SATA)
CD/DVD player (forgot the brand) (SATA)
Logitech mouse
At first I installed and connected eveything in the new Antec case and tried to install Vista64 on the WD Velicorapter HD. But Vista kept saying there was no compatible device installed an didnt want to proceed. Then I tried loading new drivers for Asus chipset, but that didn't help. Then after reading 100s of postings on Vista installation problems I decided to disconnect the Samsung HD and DVD/CD reader/writer. With this minimal setup (1 DVD reader, 1 HD) the installation of Vista didn't gave any problems. Finshed in 20 minutes or so.
After installation I installed some software that came with the motherbord and videoard. All seemed well,
Now I decided to reconnect the Samung 1Tb HD and the DVD reader/writer but now Vista doesn't want to boot anymore. Going into the BIOS I see:
Main page:
SATA1 TSSTcorpDVD-ROM SH
SATA2 TSSTcorp CDDVDW SH
SATA3 SAMSUNG HS103UJ
SATA4 WD1500HLFS-01G
Boot page:
1st boot device : CDROMM-TSSTcorpD
2nd boot device : SATA PD-Samsung HD
I cannot select the WD harddisk here!!!!
Seems that after instalation of the SAMSUNG HD (and/or maybe the DVD reader/writer) the WD HS is not seen anymore (at boottime). How do I fix this????
Hope this doen't involve to much disconnecting of things anymore, because moving your hands around inside the case is very thight. Don't want to have more problems by statics or just broken connecters (from plugging/unpligging).
