Problems with old(ish) EIDE drive in new Neo4 system

I've been building my new system today, the only components I have retained are the optical and hard drives and the memory. System is as follows
K8N Neo4 (non SLI edition)
Athlon 64 3700+
PC3200 Crucial 1Gb (2x512Mb sticks in dual channel)
BFG 7800GT OC 256Mb
Creative X-Fi Fatality FPS
Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 120Gb (EIDE) [ST3120026A]
Seasonic S12 500W PSU
XP Pro
The problem I'm having is that while my HDD is detected in BIOS, when I boot from the XP CD, the setup runs it's 'checking hardware configuration' and then dumps me at a black screen. Disconnecting the drive allows me to continue. Here's what I've tried:
a) Initially I thought I'd [burger] the HDD in the transfer, but I replaced it in my old system and booted from it fine.
b) I tried changing the IDE controller, but I had the same problem on both. My DVD drive chain works on both controllers.
c) I tried swapping the jumpers - Master and Cable Select have the same effect.
I can only assume I have something set/not set in the BIOS, but can't for the life of me figure out what. I'm hardly an expert when it comes to internals, and I'm all out of ideas!

Excelle.
Download Seagate’s disk install program and make sure you hard drive is totally erased and reformatted.  You may have an old MBR (Master Boot Record) on the old disk drive that’s causing the problem.

Cheers, I'll give that a go.

  • Help! Problem with old phone's data to new phone.

    My 4S got stolen, so I got a new one. 
    I initally selected the "start new iPhone" option, it copied all the apps, but no previous messages. When I realized that, I restored the new phone and then selected to restore the back up from the old phone. Now, the messages are up but I have no apps.
    And I don't see the usual iPhone iTunes startup where you should see the tabs. It still shows the "Set Up Your iPhone" option.
    What am I doing wrong and what should I do?

    Did you use Apple's migration tool?  It misses a lot of support files, especially in the Application Support directories.
    You'll have to copy those files manually, or reinstall the app.

  • I refurbished my macbook air 7 months ago because there was a problem with the steady state drive. Now my battery seems to be dead again. How long does the warranty last? Do I need to pay for a new battery?

    I refurbished my macbook air 7 months ago because there was a problem with the steady state drive. Now my battery seems to be dead again. How long does the warranty last? Do I need to pay for a new battery?

    As I wrote Apple will diagnose an Apple product even if it is out of warranty for free. That should be your first step to find out if the problem is the battery or something else.
    Once you have Apple telling you a 7 month old battery is defective (if that turns out to be the case)  then it becomes a game of horse trading. You'll need to speak to the tech and when he tells you there is nothing he can do you will need to speak to the tech manager and when she says most likely there is nothing they can do you go to the store manager, etc.  It is unlikely (though possible) that they will give in easily you need to be firm, polite and let on that you're willing to accept a partial reimbursement.
    So again the first step is to find out what is wrong.
    good luck

  • Problems with Elitebook 8460p graphics driver

    Hello
    I´m having problems with Elitebook 8460p display driver. The last version (15.28.20.64.3347) posted on 16 jun 2014 have some issues on the laptop. When the notebook is running on batteries the screen suffers from flickering and corrupted graphics, as you can see in this video:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gQ1w0aOaF7A
    (you can see the flickering between 0:20-0:22)
    I contacted with local hp support and send me an IT guy, who changed my mainboard and CPU, but nothing worked. I tried to contact with intel for support (the issue is present with intel non-oem drivers) but they send me to OEM. I would like to have an actual driver that works with the system (3347 is a year old driver), is this possible?
    This issue isn´t present at all in linux drivers, plus mainboard change i totally discard a hardware problem.
    I can provide feedback for any solution provided.
    Thanks!

    Hello @falken2k5 
    To get your issue more exposure I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums since the Elitebook 8460p is a commercial product. You can do this here Notebook - HP ProBook, EliteBook, Compaq, Slate/Tablet PC, Armada, LTE

  • I purchased music on my computer with old email address, same computer new email address, but I get play music becasue it tells me computer not authorized...how do you authorize???

    I purchased music on my computer with old email address, same computer new email address, but I get play music becasue it tells me computer not authorized...how do you authorize???

    I have almost the exact same problem. I have a bunch of music, ringtones, TV shows, movies... stuff that I purchased that I can't authorize. All of these items were purchased with the same account I'm still using now. The difference is that I've changed my email address. I don't have the original email address from when I made those purchases and I'm unable to authorize them. I can see that when I view info on one of these purchases the "Account Name: " has my old email address... not my iTunes or Apple account. So, if I'm authorizing my iTunes using my new email none of these older purchases will work.
    I'm really curious how to fix this. I've got quite a few purchases from years back that I'd like access to, but I can't authorize using my new email/iTunes or my old email (the one used for the original purchases).
    Take a look at the info and tell me if you see "Account Name:" on one of your purchases. And is that associated to your old email address? There has to be a way to fix this or 'transfer' older purchases, especially if it's all under the same real 'account'.

  • Problem with Installer and DVD drive

    I am having problems with my dvd combo drive reading discs. It keeps spitting them out. More importantly, I am trying to load Adobe Illustrator CS2 and cannot get all the wat through the installation proccess. Is there a patch I am not aware of??

    You could be looking at some kind of driver corruption issue (say if that sector on your hd had gone bad, or the file was dorked somehow). Have you done repaired permissions on the hd recently?
    Do all types of DVDs fail -- music, movies, and apps? If some work and others do not, then it could be a problem with a particular app.
    It never hurts to check the cables. Insufficient data or power can cause all kinds of problems.

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.

  • Problem with reinstalling Adobe Illustrator CS4 on new pc

    Using a new PC with Windows 7.  Upon reinstalling and inputting serial number, prompt appears..."We looked inthe default locations for qualifying products installed on this machine but none found.  You may verify upgrade eligibility now by completing fields to the right."  Choices given do not include Adobe Illustrator CS4.  What next?  I appreciate the help.

    I have a disc in the same box  that says CS3.  I thought that was an older version.  Should I try installing that disc first?  It seems to have a different serial number. Thanks so much for your help.  I appreciate it.

    It is looking for the qualifying product which entitles you to use the Illustrator CS4 update.  Did you have an older version of Illustrator which upgraded from?

  • No Problem with Old Firmware

    I am having no problems with old firmware for my 27" iMac Quad i5. Should I update anyway?

    As posted in another thread, after having my first ever screen flickers only after installing the 4850 firmware patch:
    "Called tech support. She had me do a PRAM reset and since then I loaded 25 programs, many of which were busy doing things like playing music, using iSight, playing video - no more flicker or black screens. I expressed my doubts that the PRAM reset would help, but it appears to have been effective for this.
    By the way, with 25 programs loaded and several active, I was able to use only 4 GB of this 16 GB machine. All 8 threads were busy but overall CPU use was modest most of the time. I think I taxed the GPU though and no problems."

    I'm facing the same error message while install Siebel 8.0 on OEL. But before I had this ksh problem, it complains about disc space first, and I actually has plenty of disk space under the directory (it needs only 0.7 G and I have 17G free). Anybody has encountered such problem before?

  • Problem with Photoshop CS4 after migration to new Mac

    I just migrated from an old Mac to a new Macbook Pro running Mavericks. I'm having a problem with Photoshop CS4. Specifically, two things:
    1) When I open an image in Camera Raw, I get this error:
    Fatal error - missing component
    /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Version Cue CS4/Client/4.0.0/VersionCue.framework
    2) When I try to save anything, it tells me it can't because of a program error.
    I've looked around for a solution. Apparently I had to install Java, but that hasn't solved the issue. A couple of people mentioned that reinstalling would work for a similar problem. My problem with that is that my disk is on the other side of the world and my new macbook doesn't have a disk drive anyway. So I logged into my Adobe account hoping to see a download link for software I have licences for, but there isn't one.
    So my question is firstly, whether there is a simpler solution to the errors I am getting and, if not, if there's a solution to reinstalling Photoshop CS4 without the disk.
    Thanks!

    Did you use Apple's migration tool?  It misses a lot of support files, especially in the Application Support directories.
    You'll have to copy those files manually, or reinstall the app.

  • Problems with Distortion in 30" Screen and new MacBook Pro 2.6 MHz

    I've got problems with distortion and shadows with this MacBook Pro model (the new 2.6 MHz Intel Core 2 Duo w/ 4 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM memory) on my Apple 30". The older MacBook Pro(s) work and look fine on this monitor (Apple 30"). Just bought the new machine last week and the monitor is about 1-1/2 years old. This one has the 200 GB Hitachi drive.
    Any ideas where the distortion is coming from? This machine has the 8600M GT w/ 512 MB Ram. Looks great until you plug into the Apple 30". Lower resolution does not help.

    What does the distortion look like? Pictures would be helpful.
