OK A strange thing happened.
1st Got a blue screen and memory dump.
Restarted but it went to cd for boot. Went into bios and all 4 HD were there and listed as 1st boot. Still no hardrive. After trying that a few times I went to the Vista disk and saw the hard drives but only 3 were there and my C was not. I thought HD was bad.
I started moving the SATA cables around. Ended up plugging a different cable into c drive and left the other 3 off. Computer booted fine after asking about safe mode. I thought ok it is a bad cable. So I started plugging in the other drives one at a time and all is fine. I then decide to plug the last drive in with the so called bad cable and it shows up ok.
So what does that mean? Any ideas how I should proceed? I already backed up everything just incase.
Thanks,
Steve
