I've never had a problem with this PC until this morning when I got the error http://www.geek.com/forums/topic/primary-drive-0-not-found-primary-drive-1-not-found/ "Primary drive 0 not found, Primary drive 1 not found". No matter what I do, I can't get past this error. I pulled primary boot drive and attached it to my notebook via USB cable and was able to read and retrieve data files, so the drive isn't the problem. I've checked the cables to see if they were loose but still no luck. Can anyone help?? Thanks in advance 2 10/28/2007 (6:48 am) by Nicole George Nicole George (113 Posts) what type HDD is it that you can USB it to your notebook? 3 10/28/2007 (4:19 pm) by Len Len (2 Posts) hear2lern, The HDD is an IDE and I use one of those $20 USB/IDE Adapters (slick little bugger). Also, I found out more since my first post. I disconnected both cables and ran the primary cable to the CD and DVD drives, and the secondary cable to the two HDDs. Now I can see the HDDs and boot successfully but I can't see the CD and DVD drives. It's looking more like the primary cable circuit on the mother board but I'm hoping for a less expensive solution. 4 10/29/2007 (3:48 pm) by Raymond Raymond (16 Posts) Sounds like you many have a bad cable.

Remove it, jumper it as slave, and install it in your regular pc in the middle connector on the IDE cable to see if it works on that system.Regards, Chris McNally Moderator - Hardware Analysis E-mail: chris@hardwareanalysis.com Gary Turner Dec 28, 2005, 09:25am EST Reply - Quote - Report Abuse Private Message - Add to Buddy List >>Re: "Primary hard disk dr
