So I'm a newb with SATA, and I just received my Seagate 320 gb drive. I had no clue what the fuck I was doing. Windows wouldn't install. So I learned I needed a floppy drive with drivers on it. Too bad I didn't have a floppy drive installed... had to get one.
Eventually, I got Windows to install. I tried to transfer files from my old hard drive to the new one, and I got more BSODs. No longer were they consistent like my previous 0x0000007B stops or whatnot... they're random now.
I looked up my mobo specs and I see that the SATA on my mobo doesn't support 3.0 gb/s transfer speeds. Would leaving the hard drive jumper set at 3.0 gb/s cause these blue screens? I mean, Windows ended up installing...
