=/ Was going to suggest that you needed to install the AHCI drivers or set SATA to IDE mode, definitely RMA in order. Need to bum a hdd til you get the 1Tb back?

Thanks but I just put the 640wd in my b/s/t post in it.......was kinda disappointed that HD was bad.but the rest went without a hitch and he is really happy with the system ans can't wait to try it out with a few new games
