I have an 10 year old ide desktop that has ide & sata motherboard connections. I have added 2 sata HDDs with no issues alongside the old ide HDD which has starting to click..
The ide connected DVD RW stopped working so purchased a new sata DVD RW which came with its own cable. Fitted while power off.
Restarted computer and it just hangs at grey boot screen but can only access bios and not boot options... Even just leaving it does not work??
Is recognised and is visible and works when plugged in while power on and already booted, after scanning for hardware changes and drivers auto installed..
Any suggestions rather than re-install windows?
OS is Windows 7
Packard Bell Imedia system
