Hi, i bought a pc but it had a terribly slow hdd so i replaced it, i couldnt install windows on it though as nothing else than the slow hdd was able to boot, so i put the new drive in my main pc and installed win7. Still wont boot, i have both cables plugged in.

AM3 - Athlon X3 440

4GB 1333

Sata 3 drives (250, 160 GB)

Radeon HD 8760

 

Also a thing: tiny7 booted from this drive before i replaced it with genuine w7 copy

 

Please help

I've experienced a similar issue, somewhere in the bios there should be a setting for how to handle hard drives, options: ide, ahci, raid  set to ahci
