    Dual boot USB?

    Oh! Sad to hear that but it's okay. I think I'll get a couple of smaller pen drives in that case. Thanks for the reply.

    Weirdest Problem Ever!

    Yes. I have to activate it. I have the product key. However, this doesn't make sense as the same OS loads when connected to a different mother board. Yes. The drive is seen in the bios. It's a 500 GB WD. WD5000AAKX. It is plugged into the SATA port. To check if it has SATA power, I swiched the...
