My new pc case arrived yesterday after setting it all up it worked fine. But I had no idea how to plug in the front USB or AUDIO ports so after playing on the pc for a hour or so i shut down and read the manuel for the Mobo. I plugged everything in as best as i could and the front audio port worked and I think the usb worked but when i went to start back up the pc would freeze right BEFORE it loaded windows. I tried everything i could think of I unplugged part of them unplugged all of them. Put the jumpers back on changed the jumper positions. made sure there is nothing touching anything that it shouldnt be. So as a last resort I put the WIN XP cd in to reformat. I went in and deleted the current system partion and then went to install it but now WIN XP set-up only shows my HDD having like 7 gig's total i know its not the jumpers on the HDD, It shows both my hdd's as only having like 7gigs, and they dont one is a 120GB and the other is a 80GB Plz help Im going nuts here.
