Hey,

I'm currently building a new system for the first time, but have come
across
a problem. I have just installed 2 HDD, Floppy Drive and CD-Rom drive, but
when I go to power on the system nothing happens, apart from the fans etc
going on?? Is there something I have done wrong here. I have the 2 HDD
connected together and into the primary motherboard connector, and the
CD-rom drive into the secondary slot, and the floppy drive in its own
slot.

Any help would be great.

Cheers

Why do you think this is a hard drive problem? Disconnect power to all the
disk drives. If the system still doesn't at least show the BIOS splash
screens, then the problem is not in the hard drives, floppy drive or CD-Rom.
A system needs clean power and a working CPU to POST. If your system is not
posting, you need to double-check that your power connections are OK and
your CPU is installed correctly. OH, and it's helpful to have a good video
card properly installed (of course) so you can see what the system is doing,
if anything.

If you disconnect power to the hard drives and that changes the symptom,
then it's time to double-check the master/slave jumper settings on all your
disk drives. -Dave
