right flatmates neice has got a 'new' pc.
celeron 3ghz packard bell with a 80gb HD.
added the HD from her old dead PC to get data off it.
tried cable select but hung on boot so set the old PC HD to slave and booted.
once booted it installed the HD and i can access it as normal.
however on boot i get an error from the realtek ethernet controller client mac address..................DCHP (loads of numbers n stuff)
it tries for a period then shows PCX-MOF:exiting PCX ROM
after that it goes onto boot windows(home)
i didnt really do anything but had to remove the power and ribbon cables for the HD's and dvd/cd drives to install the 2nd hard drive.
then refitted them
pc works fine with no errors.
hd's are accesible and internet works fine.
device manager shows the ethernet controller as functioning correctly
PC guys know this one?
oh the old HD was running xp pro AFAIK and all the data is still on there
