I deleted into the BIOS settings and the disk seems to show up in the boot devices list (it has the make and model and everything so I know it sees the disk). The computer shows the graphics card screen, shows the Motherboard screen (with "press Del for setup" prompt), then goes to a flashing cursor and does nothing more. so I shut doen, removed my new primary disk, put the jumper back to "Master" on the big drive and try to boot from it. There is a letter assignment missing where the disk should be (G:\) but it's just not there. I boot it up but Windows doesn't see the disk at all. so I switch the jumpers to the "slave" position, and plug it into the IDE cable. Now, I want that other disk (the big one) to go back in as a secondary disk. I took out the original primary disk and moved the secondary (now cloned to be the new primary) into the primary slot (yes, I switched the jumpers too). I stepped out of the room during the clone process and when I came back the screen was black with nothing but a flashing cursor. So I used the Clone Disk feature in True Image. I had a 150 GB disk that was my primary drive and a 40 Gb as secondary.īecause my media library (MP3s, Photos, etc) has grown quite large, I wanted to make the 40 GB disk be the main system disk and make the bigger 150 GB disk be my media-files disk. I used Acronis TI (9 I think) to clone my HDD.
