Resolved computer wont start w/ IDE drive connected

Don't Get too exited till you actually do it and it works!! Good Luck

 

well none of it worked, i took out the battery, left it out for a day, then put it back in. reset the bios. so...any other suggestions?

one thing i could try is buying a normal 4pin molex cable.

also, i can backup the files on the sata drive, on my bro's labtop. buy a hard drive enclosure. he doesnt know if it would load xp or act as an external hard drive. any yall know about this?

 

pcyouzer, I have come to the conclusion that it would be wiser for you to consult a computer technician to solve your problem, to save yourself from doing more damage to your machine. In my opinion you don't seem to to have enough experience yet.
