So, I tried it again and it restarted sooner. By this point I was freaked out and shaking. I shut down the computer and nearly ripped the front of the computer case into little pieces. I removed the second hard drive and started the computer back up.
It’s still working. *Knocks on wooden desk* Whew |
Running Windows XP? Likely it didn't like the new hardware. I had that problem with some new ram I bought. I even went so far as to try to reinstall windows, but it would BSOD durring the install. However, the BSOD gave me enough information to figure out what went wrong.
XP is very picky about what it will run on. Snob. My Ubuntu live cd dosn't care that it is on a dual pentium 200mhz machine with 657kb of ram and 4 scsi drives in a RIAD array. (However, gentoo did care, it didn't support the RAID controller.)
