Hello,
I am running Windows Vista 32bit on a 500 gig hd. I just got an Hitachi 2TB and my machine is not seeing it. The 5oo gig is running ok, but I want more memory. I am using a Sony DVD/RW AWG170A. When I plug in the new drive, I get the message:
Boot from CD/DVD
Boot from CD/DVD
Disk Boot Failure, Insert System Disk and Press Enter.
I have tried working with the BIOS, but I do not claim to know what I am doing in there.
Help?
 



Check your motherboard or computer manufacturer's User's Guide
and find how large a hard drive your motherboard is designed to support.
