First question... Why did you reinstall Windows? Did you have any problems?

Second, what drives are in your system? Are you sure the jumpers are set properly?

Hi, I usaly mean that you use the old IDE cable (40pin) instead of the dubbleshielded 80pin cable.
Or the IDE connector is not seated properly.
