It is having a Orange light on the motherboard? I keep playing around with it and put in the HDD they had from there GX270 in it with Windows XP and it shows the HDD as Primary 0 but will not boot off of it and keeps saying:

Primary Hard Disk 1 not found
secondary Hard Disk 0 not found
secondary hard disk 1 not found
Strike F1 key to continue, F2 to run the setup utillity

You can't swap hard drives like that. Even though it has an operating system on it, it's tied to the motherboard and Windows won't allow for that kind of swapping.

Thats what I figured anyways and was wondering if I can move the motherboard of the old GX270 into the GX150 would that be Compatable
