the other day my case was open and the pc was on and i acidentally dropped a screw into the case restating the computer now its a week later and i just tried to turn it on, cause i was doing some mods, but now it says that there is no hard drive. The power is fine, im just wondering if the socket to plug the drive into is broken or the harddrive its self.
update: it appears when my cd drive is plugged into the secondary ide slot it wont start. ive tried switching the plugs and removing the power from the cd drive. So it appears my compter doesnt like both ide slots being used. Can this be explained?
