    Hey all,

    I bought the following rig from gline here on the boards:

    Intel QX6700@3.34ghz
    Tuniq tower cooled
    EVGA nForce 680i mobo
    Corsair 2 gig DDR2 XMS2 Dominator
    2x POV 8800gtx
    2x scsi320 147gig 15k rpm hdds raid0 + PCI-E SCSI RAID CARD
    320gig sata2
    Nec 5170 Dvdrw
    XFI Fatality Fps
    PC P+C 750 Silencer Quad
    24" Dell 2407WFP
    Creative 7900 7.1 system
    CM Stacker

    He was up a week ago to do a few bits (he's abroad now for three weeks and unreachable)

    Anyway, after an unsucessful attempt at installing a IDE drive bay (not enough power cables on the motherboard) - and a bit of tinkering inside the case, the bios showed the following error at startup :

    1 LOGICAL DRIVE(S) found on the host adapter
    1 LOGICAL DRIVE(S) FAILED -
    1 LOGICAL DRIVE(S) handled by BIOS

    Glen said it was a lose cable so he tweaked something and it worked.

    The same issue has arisen again - I'm lost looking into the thing and need a little help - the rig has two HD's and a DVD drive - I've opened it up and tried to mildly fiddle with the cables into said drives... same error message on bios.

    Anyone (of hardware literacy) fancy an emergeny nixer in the clonee area tomorrow morning? I'd estimate anyone knowing their way around the inside of a PC would figure it out in no time! - PM me...

    Alternatively I was going to drag it to Marx Computers in Fairview and let them fix it... I'm a web designer and as long as the rig is down I'm buggered!

    Or would anyone recommend a decent hardware doctor in the Clonee / blanch area? Do Maplins do repairs?!

    Thanks in advance
