I am using a TruePower II 550EPS12V.

I have a Western Digital WD400 drive that I am attempting to format.
It is a used drive, but it at present has no operating system on it.
I get to a screen that says "Missing Operating System" and cannot do

Some cards specify both 4x and 8x and most only specify 8x.
Can I use any 8x video card in a 4x mobo slot? I just want it to work,

Hope this is the right place for this question.  Can I use a SATA HD in an
eSATA external enclosure?  Thanks!

which HP calls "Motherboard manufacturer's name: ASUS A8M2N-LA - HP/Compaq

Go ahead and flame me for posting off-topic, I'm not building a pc
(yet) but rather just trying to add more USB connectors to my MSI 6398
