Hey all,
I currently have 2 internal hard drives; One is functional but very old and not running properly so I got a new one. Both are PATA. My motherboard is an Asus P7Q57-M DO and I have windows 7.
My problem is that I cannot get my computer to recognize the USB 2.0 device that I have my new HDD plugged into. During troubleshooting this problem I have updated the usb drivers, rolled them back/uninstall, tried different usb ports. I would just plug in the new HDD to the motherboard itself but my old HDD will not boot without the dvdrom drive plugged into the PATA cable. I would love some help and advice, but you must know my computer takes 30 minutes to boot up now (that's why I got the new HDD) so I will need time to adjust settings in BIOS if needed.
