ok, i have removed the HDD (which is 2.5" btw) rigged up my spare 3.5" PC IDE HDD, which has a copy of windows installed, and its now all working fine.. boots from 'ON' to login screen in 45sec ish..
the IDE cable has STD size and 2.5" drive connectors on it, so i used the same cable. i have rigged up the ****y 2.5" drive as a slave, and i can access the data fine.. but swap it back to being the bootable master drive and the problems return..
