Answer 1

One thing:

It is possible that it has a problem with the ram. While it is booting up.

I returns an error and it automatically restarts.

Try selecting disable automatic restart on error on the options. you'll then see a blue screen of death.

Either way. There is a problem with your new hardware.

Answer 2

Go in to te BIOS and make sure the 80GB hard drive is the primary hard drive. And the 160 is the secondary.

First remove the 160 and only start the machine w/ the 80. if it works then my theory is correct, your booting to the 160 and not the 80. Make sure your BIOS says to boot to 80.

Unless you completely remove the 80gb HD and only want the 160gb hd, then you'll have to reinstall the OS on your 160 and keep the 80gb dont reformat it untill 1 month later, incase you'll need to pull off data from the device.

Your other new hardware has nothing to do with the startup sequence, so don't worrie about it.
