carcass Posted September 22, 2007 Report Share Posted September 22, 2007 I'll try to describe this as briefly as possible. I had run 2007 32 bit since 2007 came out on one machine. The motherboard kicked it and so I upgraded to a new motherboard/processor/etc. I also bought a new SATA hard disk. New Equipment: Gigabyte GA M61VME-S2 motherboard AMD Athlon X2-64 processor. Some Hitachi SATA drive (Since then have also added a new Seagate SATA disk) When I swapped in the new mobo, etc., the system booted no problem. I decided to reinstall the 64 bit version onto the SATA disk. Started up, installed fine. Everything's good. Except now, when I boot the machine with the SATA disk(s) connected, 2007 does not find anything on the IDE bus. No HDD, no CD, no DVD, nothing. Looking in /dev/ the special devices aren't even there (no /dev/hdxx). I can disconnect everything from the SATA bus and then 64-bit 2007 sees the IDE bus again. One interesting twist is if I boot up with the install DVD (from the IDE bus) and go into "rescue" mode, I can see everything. I can only assume at this point there is something with the 64 bit system that's not quitre right. Can anyone offer me any tips on this? Thanks!
