    Same system as I always use, WinXpPro P4 HT 3ghz, 2gb RAM. I plugged in my new SATA drive to set it up and transfer files, but it didn't start up. It rebooted itself, only to show that it was attempting to recover the BIOS... and it turned off again. I unplugged the drive (leaving the older IDE plugged in as it was) and attempted again. Still, I got no dice. What can I do to get it back on track?

    Never mind... somehow managed to restart it w/o the SATA HD plugged in, changed BIOS settings to enable On-Chip SATA. So, I think that's taken care of.
