Hello,
I just installed a new MSI board (amd FM2). I bought a new 1TB Seagate HD have 2 (1 old and 1 new DVD drives), my old SATA HD with XP on it (WD 500) and an old IDE (WD 500) with all my data.
I can't connect the IDE drive directly, but via USB with an IDE to USB adapter - and I think its showing up on the boot list - but can't boot from it.
The new segate Sata drives show up - its blank. But no matter what I try, I cannot get the old Sata XP drive to show up - as even present during bios boot. I have the Mboard drive controls set to IDE.
I am worried it may be damaged I had a power supply failure that lead to this upgrade ( I assumed it was the Mboard (did the upgrade pluggedin the old power supply and realized it was bad) replaced the power supply and the new board fires up...any advice?
