Generic problem for all Hard Drives
Computer won't boot
posted by dawmail333 on Dec 19, 2007
My computer
will not boot past the bios with my SATA HDD. All I get is a blank
screen with a blinking cursor. I know all my parts work, because I put
my HDD into another computer and it booted. I tried putting an IDE HDD
into my computer and it booted, but it isn't mine. Also, when I try to
use the Windows XP disk to reinstall, it checks the system's configurations, then goes blank. Can you help me?
Yeah, I'm using a Maxtor 160GB External, and it won't let me boot, even if I then take it out. I have to remove the drive and then start the computer, and re-insert the drive. This is a nuisance, can anyone help?

I have a Dell pentium 4 machine running at 2 gb, with 2500 mb memory. I bought a new WD MY Book 320 GB External USB 2.0 HD and have been using it for a few months. I installed an IPOD Shuffle recently and now the computer won't boot unless I disconnect the My Book HD. In addition the HD doesn't work when I reconnect the usb and power cables. It is usually recognized by the PC but when I try to transfer a file to it or download a file from the network I get error messages about the drive losing data and other scary messages. Is there a solution?

Guru1. Check that the M/b will support the 160 GB HDD
2. If it ok check the Hard disk jumper.
3. See that the jumper must be in Primary Master
4. Connect the Data Cable of Primary
5. Check the jumper of any other HDD or CD/DVD roms
if your problem solves, vote me
Thanking you
