ok
im not that good with hardrives in computers and such
ill tell u what i see
i see that i have my main 80gig hd in the sata2 port or what ever its called and its a red cord with black lettering on side.
i see that my 500gig has a red cord connected to the sata1 port and it has white lettering on it.
i see the main powering cord with multi colrs including red black yellow and orange, is connected to both HD's then it goes to the power supply block.
it is connected like the cords have two things where they can be stuck in two hardrives.
so it branchs of in one part of the cords to go to another hardrive. I tried a bunch of stuff and reconnected all the cords, now it says "DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER"
now i dont no what to do
by the way each HD has 2 cords connected to it.
1 red and 1 power cord with multi cords on it.
