Hi,
Jshelton31,
How are the HD's setup. Is the 10GB jumper set as Master and at the end of the IDE ribbon cable and the 80GB jumper set as Slave and connected to the middle of the IDE ribbon cable?
Are you using an 80 pin ribbon cable?
Also there is a chance this MoBo will not recognize a larger HD. What make mobo is this?
Thanks,
Bill
