Ok, so first thank you to any who are able to help me sort this out, if thats a possibility.
Months back, my homebuilt Desktop was working fine (other than me having to keep the side panel off b'c the MSI 7901 I purchased was overheating. Newegg opted to sell it even though it had been recalled unbeknowst to me till too late). I had some errands to run, so I just manually powered down. I come back home, power up, and get the Checksum error. After changing the battery, and going through much aggrivation I simply said eff it. I just started tinkering with it again. Went out, purchased a new HDD (WD Blue), new SATA cables, (realized I forgot to take the tape off the battery as well /sigh), start her up...and again. Checksum error. I only have a minimal amount of hardware experience, enough to know whats what I guess. But I've read online about IDE cables being plugged from the HDD to the MB. I looked on my MB, checked to see if I forgot to connect any cables from the powersupply...I'm seeing nothing. In the BIOS it keeps setting my floppy drive as boot device, (which I keep changing back), and it's showing there is now Primary Slave device. I'm at a complete loss on this. Any new insight or suggestions (other than throwing it out the window) would be appreciated =)
