Hey guys
so heres my issue i recently bought a 1 tb hard drive to replace my 250gb.I made the new drive a complete duplicate of the old one.The problem lies with how the drives are connected .The new one uses the sata cable where the IDE cable( i think thats what their called) .When i go to boot from the new disk it just goes to a black screen with a little blinking key stroke thinger. this happens if i disconnect the old drive(which id like to do) or just boot from the new disk off the bois menu
is this the mobos problem or hard drives? im upgrading my whole system (except the new 1tb the hard drive is going into it aswell) .I dont want this problem to follow to my new system
Im running a msi 740gtm-p25 mobo
thanks for the help!
