i have a spare pc which is rarely used apart from burning xbox games, the hard drive currently is 300gb sata, which has just started clicking so thought i would buy a new one.(i did have a 500GB in there that was fine fo a while)
the new drive is the Samsung Eco Green 1.5TB Sata 2, this was going to replace the other drive.
i fitted the drive, put in the win 7 boot disc, and all that happens is it detects the samsung hd154ui drive in the boot process and stops dead. it does say hit ctrl+s or f4 for raid config, but nothing happens no matter when you press ctrl+s.
i assume this is a sata problem and the old motherboard (epox 8RDA3+) and new hdd are not getting on, will a pci sata 2 card be the answer.
thanks for any help
