Re: Western Digital HDD causes BIOS to hang

Ok so I set both drives as cable select and they both showed but the BIOS still hung. Heres what I got:
Code:
Auto-Detecting Pri Master..IDE Hard Drive
Auto-Detecting Pri Slave..IDE Hard Drive
Auto-Detecting Sec Master..Atapi CD-Rom
Auto-Detecting Sec Slave..Atapi CD-Rom

Pri Master: WDC WD1600JB-00DUA3   75.13B75
            Ultra DMA Mode-5, S.M.A.R.T. Capable and Status OK
That's where it hung.

I then removed the jumpers on the trouble HDD, put it at the end of the cable and removed the rest of the HDDs. Result was exactly the same.

There wasn't anything else I could do after that because when it hangs at that point, I can hit del and the screen says it will enter setup, but nothing happens.
