Spiffzoid Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 Hi,Today I tried installing a second HDD. Windows XP now won't even read any of the HDD including the original HDD alone. When I power on the PC it makes a few noises and then reboots. It does not even get to the page where you enter BIOS setting. The keyboard lights don't light up.Both of the HDDs are SATA. Inserting the windows CD does not cause start-up from CD either.Any help would be greatly appreciated.Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-pops- Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 This is worrying and may well indicate a failed motherboard.Did you remember to shut down all power to the machine before installing the second drive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
