Now that's very confusing. I'd update your BIOS if I were you, for Ide and SATA aren't the same.

Only by turning the power off and then back on will it restart. Unless the power is turned off, a restart locks up at the end of the list of IDE devices in the BIOS screen. The only hardware change since last week is the replacement of a 1TB HDD with the SSD, which resulted in some IDE cables moving around to different slots. Before I start randomly moving cables around I thought I'd ask here just in case some hardware boffins might have seen this sort of thing before. Do SSD and HDD have to be in a certain physical cable order? Are the various IDE slots different? Greg K
