Just installed new WD 120SATA on existing Gigabyte 8IG1000 pro
motherboard. My problem is that I have no power apparent
After inserting USB2 powered scanner (Mustek).
The PC power supply is a 450w True Power.
It is as if PC is switched off at the wall.
XP(SP2) will boot fine with just USB mouse, Printer and CFlash
Reader and when scanner is unplugged.
This is definately a hardware problem as I can use the scanner
after the system has booted.
I have flashed the BIOS using Gigabytes Flash Utility which fixed
POST delay time and annoying clicking noises from the hard drive.
Gigabyte state on there site that no usb leads/devices other than
their own should be used with SATA. This does not make sense,
can't I use both SATA with USB2, or is there a problem with this
Drive/Scanner combination.
The entire system was working fine with Segate IDE 5400 running
Windows ME.
Any sugestions on overcomming this problem would be appreciated,
Thanks,
Paul
