At least I've never encountered before.
I recently tried to reformat my computer. I disconnected all peripherals including a second hard disk drive that I used for storage and an ATI video card. I also disconnected the primary hard disk drive (the computer was off) to get access to the secondary hard disk drive. When I went back to turn on the computer though, the computer was not "turning on" properly.
The computer turned on and was running but nothing was loading. I finally figured out that the hard disk drive wasnt being read and pretty much no peripherals worked either. The keyboard didn't light up, the monitor didn't get signal from the analog plug from the motherboard; the only thing that lit up was the mouse. I made sure the master cable was properly connected to the hard drive and it was securely connected to the mother board. The power cable was connected properly and I know the power supply worked.
I've tried everything but it simply won't work. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
