yeh those will go in the usb socket i circled, just make sure both the missing pins are on the same side when plugging them in.

when you got the failure to boot and BSOD did you change anything?

Hey para,

No I hadn't was watching a YouTube vid but it hasn't done it again,
I managed to re install the os however now the 2nd hard drive is not showing in my computer but it did in the installation. Could this have anything to do with the cables I used?
I got some White 6gb/s ones and used them rather than thR standard orange one- would that make a difference?

Edit: also I can't get into the bios settings I think my screen is too big?

paradisiac · 22 Jun 2011 at 08:20

if you right click 'Computer/My Computer' and go to manage, does it show up in the disk management section? there is a possability it isnt formated, so windows wont see it.

savaged wolf · 22 Jun 2011 at 10:17

Yes,
I get:

Drive picture* simple- basic- ntfs- healthy( system, active, primary partition)
And
(C

simple -basic - ntfs- healthy ( boot, page file, crash dump, primary partition)

paradisiac · 22 Jun 2011 at 10:18

so both drives are shown there but only 1 has a drive letter, or only 1 drive is shown?

savaged wolf · 22 Jun 2011 at 10:30

Both drives only 1 letter

paradisiac · 22 Jun 2011 at 10:40

then right click the one without a letter and assign it one.

savaged wolf · 22 Jun 2011 at 15:53

thanks para,

so now the issue is ,

Setup not detecting hard drives , the bios i cant view and the usb ports :S other than thats its perfect !

paradisiac · 22 Jun 2011 at 15:56

ok, so do all rear usbs work with/without the front usb connected to motherboard?
by not being able to get into bios, you mean you press the del/esc/f2 or whatever and it wont let you in? are you using a usb keyboard?
the hard drive not being seen on startup is not a problem as such, more of an annoyance as they are being picked up, just not on the controller/type that the screen is showing you.

savaged wolf · 22 Jun 2011 at 16:02

ok,
hard to explain the bios bit,

im using a tv 32"

i turn on computer and press Delete which should open the Bios up,
the screen / computer doesnt seem to like each other and the computer displays the msi logo really big, which means you can see the options etc. thus making the bios impossible to use.

in regards to the USB

all rear motherboard USB works perfectly fine with or without ,
when plugged in it only seems to let me use 1/3

paradisiac · 22 Jun 2011 at 16:05

hmmm.............do you have a monitor you can try? are you using a gfx card on onboard?
use 1/3 front sockets?

savaged wolf · 22 Jun 2011 at 16:07

i can get one to try tomorrow, using GFX card 6950

there are 4 usbs on the front of the case one is 3.0 the other 3 are 2.0 only one of the 3 front 2.0s work the 3.0 works fine no problems
