alright, i am having a problem with my little sister's system...
this is a really dumb situation...
i have tried 3 different hard drives on two different motherboards....and two different cpu's, and two different video cards, two different psu's, two different mice, two different monitors, two different sticks of ram (one brand new!), and two different brands of hard drive...
i am at a total loss...
what happens is that when i try to format any hard drive, i get an error...
the error reads as follows:
"the setup of drive 1 failed
because creation of the boot track failed
because there was a device error zeroing drive 1
absolute sector 1 count 16
because there was a device error reading drive 1
absolute sector 0 count 1
because there was a device error reading drive 1
absolute sector 5263360 count 1
because there was a device error reading drive 1
absolute sector 14737496 count 1 "
i dont know what the hell this means, but i think that it is something common, but the only thing that has stayed the same is the keyboard....could this be the keyboard messing with the io of the motherboard???????
i am going insane here...because i thought that it was the old hard drive going bad, and i put in my old 10 gig, which i was using in my system TODAY, and is working still, because i put it in my system again, just to make sure..
the only thing i can think of is the keyboard...if anyone can confirm this, then let me know, because i would like to solve this TONIGHT, as i would like to stop fiddling with this system, and give it to my sister tomorrow, in full working order...
i took out all the cards, and left only the video card, and still got the error....
i am going to go downstairs, and get a different keyboard, and see if that is the problem, i will post back with the results..
i hope that someone has any ideas!!!!!
