Have just built a new computer, but am having a bit of a major headache getting Windows installed so the machine will boot: The setup is:
MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum board
FX-53
Floppy drive connected to FDD port
160GB PATA HD connected to IDE1
80GB SATA HD connested to SATA1
CDRW connected to IDE2 (master)
What I want is Windows to boot from the SATA drive, and have the PATA drive as an additional storage drive (documents etc).
I have installed Win2K onto the SATA drive, and the machine boots to that perfectly when the 160GB drive is not connected. The moment the 160GB drive is, I get a No Boot drive detected error.
So I disconnected the SATA, and installed Win2K onto the 160GB drive, then rebooted. Still get the same error.
Can anyone step in and point out what I am doing wrong?
Also is the 160GB drive supposed to be a MASTER or SLAVE. I expect it to be master as it is the only thing on that IDE channel.
