check the jumpers on the back of the hard drive. there would be 2 rows of 5 pins, and a block that goes vertically connecting one row.


Its differnt for each hard drive but they normally say what it should be ontop.

if its your only drive, they should be set to just master.
if you have 2 it should be set to master WITH slave. and have the 2nd set to slave.

And are you sure you have the ribon cable connected with the right end, i believe the end end goes in first drive. the middle connector goes to 2nd.

Also, go into the bios, make sure your boot sequence is..

Floppy
CD ROM (or dvd)
Hard drive.

and check over the hard drive settings in bois for anything funny lookin.

When I had my 9800 I had the same problem when I tried to hook in two monitors one would go blank and the other would boot fine. If your card has two outputs Id say try the other hook in or you can try another monitor.

EDIT: and make sure you disabled your on board video

doen't come with onboard video ...this is getting really annoying, i'm going to check the jumper settings on my MB just to make sure that its not set manually on the MB itself to use PCI...this is causing me a lot of distress, also my RAM may be the problem, does it make any difference in what slots you stick the sticks in? i have 2 sticks of 256 MB (and its Ultra, so its not a question aboot shoddy brands), my MB doesn't have the dual channel slots, so i don't think it should matter..does anyone know otherwise????
