Hi guys

I've just had a really annoying and strange problem.

I took my HD out including the SATA cable to copy some files across to another PC. All good. However, I've just put it back in the system and now when I power up it comes on for 2 seconds and then powers itself down again.

Any ideas why it should suddenly have started doing this?

Cheers

Check all connections

The OS won't have anything to do with it.

Sounds like something is shorting, try another Molex connector/sata/ide connector.

Try another hdd alltogether.
