my medion w/ windows xp media edition had hard drive failure, we thought, so we took it out and plugged into another pc, we were able to recover everything. and then it failed on that pc . so i thought i just needed a new sata hard drive but was wondering if it was more as it wasnt getting past the start up pages before it we worked on it. so we plugged in another sata hd with windows xp and had been running my old stuff on a ide hd plugged into my cd-rom cable. it still does not detect it on any of the 4 ports.
we did get all my programs and files as i had recovery disk, and back ups.
however also it is not detecting my modem an agere pci soft modem as well as my tuner card which i used to record and watch tv on windows media.
on boot up one day it started to detect and install the moodem but it was not functional?
so i am wondering if i need a motherboard or?
