    Hey guys, I think I brokeded it.:doh:

    Running an HTPC finally got the last upgrade, a video card. Yanked the old one out. New one in. In the process, I inadvertently disabled my 1.5tb HDD (physically), so I removed that as well until I could right the wrong. The HDD only had movies on it, and this one folder with a long sequence of numbers that I could never delete.

    So I boot her up (only to install the drivers, I got Mass Effect 2 to play!). Bios only wants to boot from dvd/cd. I went into the boot options, HDD's on there, recognizes its size, and it's first and only boot priority.

    So what's going on? Does that file from the secondary HDD need to be there in order to boot? Should I just reinstall windows?

    My Setup:
    500gb Seagate Barracuda(O.S.)
    1.5tb Seagate Barracuda(Media)<-currently removed
    Radeon HD 4670 1GB 128-bit DDR3<-Just replaced an Nvidia
    AMD Phenom II x4 9652
    2gb x2 Kingston DDR3
    LG Blu-ray optical drive
    Antek 550w
    Windows 7 home 64bit

    well, what does it say if you boot without a disc?
    also, are the Harddrives SATA?
