Please log in for more thread options Celron 1.2 is below the requirments for operating MCE 2005. But lets solve
your HD prob.
Being a old CPU , you probably have a old MotherBoard that may not support
250GB hard drive.
So make sure that these items match your controller (onboard?)
Speed of BUS(ATA 66/100/133)?
80Wire/40Wire?
Max HD size?LBA
Hard Disk Drives are pretty reliable (most). You may see one bad one. But 4!
I had that many die maybe in a 4 year span (@ My home network). Maybe you can
buy a new PCI controller and try that. I think your reaching the limits set
by the old controller and it ends up not being able to read the drive.
