Hey guys!
I just changed my PSU on my computer and after removing and safely placing all the cables and stuff in everything inside the pc, i started the computer and it was written that to boot from device , meaning that it didnt' recognize my hard drives or what? i have 3 HDD and i couldn't get either the XP on one of it or the VISTA of the other to make it work.
My screen was just stuck on the black background, saying that i need to insert disk to boot etc :-s
Anyone knows what's about?

Which PSU did you just install?

i installed an corsair 750 HX
My HDDs are recognized in BIOS.
Could it be that after changing my PSU, to be a need of reinstalling windows? because if i inserted a windows xp cd , it went straight to the installation process...?

Perhaps there's a cable that's not in all the way. By that, it could be that it needs to be pushed in like a half of a millimeter. So, I know you did this already, but make absolutely sure that all of the connections are as secure as humanly possible.

ok but why would the hdds be recognized in BIOS?
and besides that, what's the coincidence? i have on a HDD installation of XP and on another hdd Vista, and none of them are recognized

problem solved, reinstalled the cables and it seems it's working.
Thx for the assistance !

Nice. Even somewhat-microscopic looseness with cables can cause big problems.
