I have a Dell Optiplex 270... I recently reoformatted with the restore disc and when I went to reboot for winxp setup, i got a video error. When I gave up on that error, I got out my hd from my other computer (which was killed by lightning) and stuck it in my dell. I attached all that needed attaching and booted up and got a new message. "Primary drive 0 not found" and "SATA Primary drive 0 not found". I checked all the cables, still nothing. I went into setup and my hd was labled as an unknown device. I stuck my original hd back in and still the same error. I can't figure out what's going wrong. Ideas? Thanks in advance.
