buschman Posted February 21, 2008 CID Share Posted February 21, 2008 I installed an old ide hard drive in an HD enclosure. Hooked everything up and the system hangs durning bootup. The old ide drive has XP installed. Can anyone tell me if that is causing my problem' and how to solve this problem. I have tried every jumper setting on the IDE drive, but it still tries to boot my pc. System: amd 3500+ 1024 pc 3200 ram WD 200GB Sata HD BFG 6800 Ulta Factory OC'ed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudmanc4 Posted February 21, 2008 CID Share Posted February 21, 2008 Does the system post, are you pressing F8 , or whatever gives you a boot menu screen so you can get the option to boot from USB? Where does it hang? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlewis23 Posted February 22, 2008 CID Share Posted February 22, 2008 Yes the IDE drive is causing the problem. Try removing the jumper, and then put the drive on the other IDE connector on the cable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
