Hello,
I'm using a custom-built PC with Windows XP. I have two large (160 gb) hard drives and recently the power supply went bad, causing the computer to reboot over and over at random. (The only way stop it was to turn it off manually.) I replaced the power supply, and this solved the problem, but now the slave drive is not showing up or powering up at all. It is a Western Digital 1600. It does not show up in the hardware profile and it does not power up at all upon start up. I have tried swapping the power on the two drives and replacing the HDD cable with a new one to no avail. Does anyone have an idea of what my problem could be? Thanks,
