My boyfriend purchased a second hard drive this morning and attempted to install it. After getting everything connected, we started the computer. It stalls on the boot screen with a message saying that the Nvidia media test failed and to check the cables. Cables have been checked, they are firmly in place.
We tried booting from the Windows disc only to find out that the computer thinks that Windows needs to be reinstalled. I click through this past the "Enter your CD key" screen and then the computer informs me that it cannot find a hard drive to install Windows on.
So, basically, the computer no longer recognizes either HD. I tried taking the new one off, no luck. Tried just the new one, same deal. Would appreciate any help offered.
