So I took out the original 60 gig 5400 drive that came with my quicksilver and put in a 160 gig 7200 8 meg cache drive. I cloned the 60 gig onto the 160, and then took it out. When I start up now, I get a flashing question mark for about a second, and then the OS loads. Whats up with that? Should I just do a fresh archive and install on this new drive? Also, the desktop is locked and it wont let anything save to it. Finally, I had 2 freeze ups yesterday when I first installed the drive, where the mouse would move but the comp was locked. Thanks!
