Okay, first off I have to apologize for misleading everybody. I made a huge mistake in my description. The new drive is Western Digital, and in the Bios it says WD somethingorother, which it turns out was the description of the original internal drive, so it is reading that drive and it's the new one that's not showing up in the Bios.

That said, nothing is changed. It still won't load up with the new one plugged in, and loads fine if I unpug it from the USB port.

Look for an autoexec.bat file and rename it to like autoexec.crap then try it again
Okay, but where do I look for that?
[edit] Never mind that dumb question. I have it searching all of E now.
