And no, it didn't go missing. It just died with a loud pop. Could be the power supply, the system is 8 years old.Question for those more hardware savvy, if I replace both the motherboard and the power supply, would it boot up with the current hard drives?
As long as there's no RAID (onboard RAID) and the new motherboard has the same drive connections, it should. I've done it, took a few reboots and a couple driver installations.
