wyantm06 Posted March 10, 2006 CID Share Posted March 10, 2006 Right now I am trying to get a 10GB HDD to work on my PC. I have a 250GB and I was trying to use them both but now I am just trying to get this 10GB to work alone. For some reason it will just not work! I tried all the options...Slave, Master, CS and I still get nothing. I am trying to install Media Center on it but it gets through setup for the installing then says can't find the HDD. So am I doing something wrong or what? Or is the HDD to old or something? EDIT: I even planned on ordering a 320Gb HDD tomorrow but if I can't even get this other one working then I kinda have no hope for when I get a new one.

wyantm06 Posted March 10, 2006 Author CID Share Posted March 10, 2006 It's IDE. Well it should work. I unhooked my original HDD and hooked the 10Gb one to it like I had my 250Gb but nothing. Tried moving the Slave, Master, CS.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
