Hi Thanks for the response:
By "origninal problem" are you referring to my wanting to replace Power Producer Gold? I wanted to re-load drivers because PPG suddenly quit working for me.
Othewise, in the course of trying to fix this, I've unplugged all connections (power and IDE) and re-connected the CD and CD writer, and the floppy and the hard drive. It continues to reboot, never getting to the desk top.
I've finally learned how to pause the screen at bootup. (Very complicated, hit the "pause" button). Here is some of the information which is presented while my computer is initializing:
Pri Master DVD-RW, ATA 33 Pri Slave DVD, ATA 33
Sec Master None Sec Slave None
IDE Channel 2 Master Disk: LBA, ATA 100, 200GB
My HD is 200GB, but it is SATA. Doesn't this confirm that it isn't being properly detected?
As a matter of fact I just looked, I don't see ANY jumpers on the back of my hard drive.....
