Sorry if this is in the wrong area. I just recently built my first computer from scratch. Everything went fine until I tried to bring my 3 extra hard drives over. One is a 3.5 inch and the other two are 2.5inch. I have a asrock 980de3/u3s3 mb and all my hdds are sata. I have tried starting windows with only one hdd at a time and all three extra drives work. They all worked in my old computer when plugged in at the same time. If I plug the 2.5in. Hdds in at the same time, windows wont load. It gets to the "starting windows" screen. I tried putting the 2 2.5 hdds back into my old computer and now it will not let windows start If they are both plugged in at the same time. I even reformatted both drives And no luck. I'm at a loss. Please help. I've searched the fourm with no luck.
