Computer does not start?
P4
1.5GB Ram
7800gs nvidia card
ASRock m/b
250GB EXTERNAL HDD
80GB internal
So I was listening to some music from my external HD plugged in via USB and it started to skip, like a cyclic redundancy on a CD, I unplugged it, restarted the PC.. The PC took ages to come back on, but did..
I dismanteled my external HD to see what was up inside and was surprised to find an actual HDD.. So, I took it out of it’s case and wired it to the slave socket on the internal HD cable, set the jumpers accordingly.
It worked
I powered off the PC for the night and came back in the morning, nothing, no post screen, monitor stayed off… So I unhooked the slave HDD and tried again… nothing! - I played with the jumpers, and then it worked; comes back on, when i switch off again, nothing, no post screen… So i unplugged my internal HD, swapped it for my external which has Linux on one partition, and nothing, no post screen.. I switch the drives around again and it works but always fails to reboot when i switch it back on.
Right now the pc is in the state it’s always been in, i reinstalled XP, shorted the jumpers to reset cmos, even took the battery out for half an hour.. Nothing..
I can get it to boot if i turn it on, then off, switch HDD’s from primary to the external via the IDE cable, switch on, off again, switch HDD’s back and it’ll go on, but when I power it down it wont start..
Checked all cables, removed my graphics card to see if it was a power problem, but as before it’s always worked… *** is going on?
Help, Please!!!!

plan on building my own PC. how much do you think it will cost?
-3.0GHz Dual Core AMD processor
-4GB DDR2 RAM
-2x 500GB HDD
-3x IEEE 1394 ports
-6x high speed USB 2.0 ports
-2x 17″ LCD monitors (2500:1 contrast ratio)
-2x DVD/CD burning drives with Light Scribe
i haven’t decided on what kind of Video Card i want yet. some sort of Nvidia, but idk which. and i also want a really good sound card and wireless card. please give me some suggestion on those
So how much do you think it would cost to build all this?
I plan on it being a 64bit Window’s XP SP3 on one HDD, and Linux Mint 4.0 on the other HDD. this would be of course a Desktop, not a Laptop/Notebook.

how do you use cd to change to another disk?
Okay, but currently none of them work. I use cd H:\ and it doesn’t say anything bad, but it still shows C:> and I can’t get to any folders. Also, if I installed Ruby on the usb drive, would I still be able to run it on a computer without Ruby installed?
Wait… never mind!
