Newbuild Boot/HD troubles??
New build all original parts from Newegg. The Problem Maybe?? With Seagate hard drive HD 500G ST 7K 16M SATA2 ST35006ONS
Fired up in the case 11/09, all ok since then till this morning as I added peripherals and programs.. This morning after installing a scanner driver had to reboot. The hard drive was missing. Tried several times booting with the XP CD and did not get past checking for hardware. This MB came with the latest BIOS. Went into Bios. set up fail safe boot. No help, replaced cables and tried them in different positions . Went to town, bought a new Seagate SATA HD plugged installed XP pro with no problems. Just for fun Unplugged new drive reinstalled the other one, booted and I have my system back all fixes updates etc. At this stage I need the advice of the gurus. The case, PSU and MB will handle many HD’s. I don’t mind having two but they are not identical. With out knowing what caused the initial lock up I’m afraid of the original drive, I haven’t rehooked up the new drive yet don’t know what would happen with two drives with the same OS’s So help please. or at least give me your thoughts Thanks John H Gigabyte GA-P35-DS4, Inte\lE6750 4G crucial ram showing 3.5 HD 500G ST 7K 16M SATA2 ST35006ONS OMI Mitsumi floppy Liteon SATA DVD burner The new HD presently unhooked Seagate SATA 300 320 Gig ST303204N1A1AS-RI have 21 days to return this one

I built a quad core box for a customer a few weeks ago, with a Raptor and a 1 TB Seagate - the Seagate disappeared the other day, reseating the SATA cables fixed it. SATA cables can vibrate loose unless you get the premium cables that lock.

I would try to run seatools on the first hd. See what that says.
The message was that it couldn't find the hd? And you replaced the cables and it still didn't work, but it works now?
