I have a Gigabyte MB that has been operating perfectly for years. Two weeks ago I installed another sata hd. Last night the board failed to book, saying it couldn't find a boot loader.

My thought was that the original boot HD had finallly given up and died after so many years, but I had just installed a new 1tb drive and would simply reinstall everything to the new drive.

Odd thing: It will boot off of the CD *only* if all of the other three hd's are not connected.

No combination of CD with HD will work. I even tried different combination of sata ports.

Any suggestions?
