I am building my first system. MSI 648-Max Mother board.
Intel 2.5 CPU. 1 Western Digitial 120Gb 7200 rpm 8mb cache hard drive, 1 sony DVD Rom drive.
No flopy drive.
I have them all connected. But when I start up the system
I get an error message
A: DRive Error
I have 2 separate 40 bin Ultra ATA ribbon cables, 1 for the DVD and the other for hard drive. The mother board has 2 IDE sockets so I decided to connect the 2 devices one each on them.
What could I be doing wrong.
Is there some sorta step by step trouble shooting guide that i look into.
Thanks,
Sarvi
