Hi Hows it going...this one is for the true PC engineers out there.
I got a small nightmare on my hands.... I tried fitting a new 60gig Maxtor hard drive (2nd drive for audio only) to my PC and all went well till I turned the PC back on again (it was all ok with the slave and master setup etc and I connected them in the right order on IDE1 on the motherboard etc, with power cables set up ok etc etc). On bootup I hit delete till the Award CMOS bios screen came up, saw my original hard drive displayed as a Primary Master then selected Autodetect for the new Primary Slave HD. I saved the setup then booted up again, but for some reason the CMOS doesn't save the settings and now it doesn't even detect my original HD. I just see a list on the screen that says i have no hard drives when there are clearly 2 connected to the motherboard. I just get the message Primary Disk failure Insert System Disk (which i stupidly never made, but only because i never intended doing anything with the Primary Master). I didn't think this would happen. Have I killed my PC? Can I make a System Disk off another PC and use it to boot my spazzed machine (i use Win98SE if this makes any difference)?
