Right I've got a computer that I'm going to put downstairs as a media centre and in it, it's got 2 Samsung 250's and a WD 500.
I had a lot of problems with installing operating systems yesterday and can't figure it out. After installing Windows 7 it would blue screen, even on a fresh install! and Vista just felt slow and unresponsive. After getting my main computer to wipe all 3 hard drives and transfer movies to the 2 Samsung's, I can no longer get it to do anything, no matter what hard drive combination I put in it, it just comes back saying windows 7 failed to load with the error code "0xc000000F", I've had a look through loads of documents on that but none say anything about the computer being completely unusable. Most just state "Insert your original vista or windows 7 disc and do a repair", but for some reason since the computer has been like that I have been completely unable to select either the CD drive to boot from or either my USB caddy or USB pen all with operating systems on, that I was able to install from yesterday.
Any one got any ideas? Driving me mad!
Edit: Ok, apparently it gives me the error message "0XC000000E" when no hard drives are connected. So where is it getting this info from?
