Hello to all!
I have a problem with the SATA controller (I assume) and my M/B ABIT NF7-S VER 2.0.
So far it had worked for years with no problems with an HD Seagate ST3160023AS (Barracuda 7200.7 SATA 160 GB) that I wanted to replace for obvious limitations of space with a bigger one ST3750630AS (Barracuda 7200.11 SATA 750 GB). S/O is Windows XP Professional SP3
The problem is that my PC hangs at boot after correctly pointing to the type of HD and cannot determine his size (750 GB see above)
Notice: the new HD has already been partitioned and formatted and is normally visible and can be used if I connect as external drive via USB2SATA adapter...
The Seagate support is non-existent ...
Can anyone help me?
Thanks
