Ok, So heres the story, my original hard drive was a maxtor 40 gig, I picked up a new 120 gig WD cavier,se yesterday, I installed it today. I think i installed it correctly * its my first new HD* Windows xp installed fine, everything seems to be running right, I made 3 partitions roughly, 40, 40, 40 no problems, then i noticed when my hard drive is thinking; my power light flickers as well, I dont remeber my old one doing that before, Im wondering if i may have hooked up my new one wrong, all i did was replace the old one and hooked up the new one in the same spot, everything seems fine but I want to make sure. also it takes my new hard drive 3 times as long to boot then my old hard drive, is that because its a larger hard drive? or is it because i did something wrong? In a previous thread it was suggested that i image my hd and go that route, but i had so much crap on it i wanted to just go clean, is there anyway i can hook up my old hd just to transfer the files and ill keep it as back up anyways "just incase" heres hoping i dont need it. My mobo is an old a7a266,
Thanks guys,
