I HATE this MSI mobo I bought from Compusa on a serious deadline. I have had
nothing but trouble with installing anything on it, even before my hard
drive went bad. Actually, from the start. I had to buy new video and sound
cards, reinstall a hundred times all my plain old regular stuff. I highly
suspect that my hard drive problems are related to it also. I'll have to dig
out specs on the old hard drive, see if I can make it a slave manually. Why
would it have an "auto" function if you have to enter it manually?
