Hey guys
I recently perm-loaned my mate my old gaming computer so that he had something besides his phone to use the net on, and could store all his music.
It was running windows xp (cant remember what version) with the following specs (all from memory)
Intel dg31pr motherboard
Intel e4600 core 2 duo @2.2ghz
Gtx550 ti (just put in when i gave to him to hang onto my 9800gtx+ for sli)
4gb ram
60gb sata hdd
Now the 60gb hdd is obviously obsolete in todays world, so i got hold of a second hand 500gb western digital green (model WD5000AAVS) to expand his storage.
I have built computers before, but have always used new hdd's so im unsure why it now says (having been running at his place for a month waiting for the new hdd to arrive) that it has a boot error whenever i try to start it from the second after i tried to install the new hdd as a secondary.
How do i try to resolve this, as im just trying to help out a mate
