Heres what happends:
When i have the HD in, when i boot up my comp and it gets to were it read the Primary, Secondary Master and Slave, it stops on that HD. It just stops there and does nothing, it says: press f4 to skip". when i go into my BIOS to detect new HD's it doesnt detect it. the comp freezes and there is nothing i can do but reboot. i know the HD works because i brought it back to were i bought it and they tried it out. i even saw it work there. all they said was to update my BIOS.
So now what?
