I bought a used dimension 2400, it will not see any HDD connected to it. I have three different HDD's, two with WIn XP installed and one has no OS installed. The BIOS sees any one of these drives, it know what the manufacture and the size of the drive but when i power on the PC it says Primary drive 1 not found.

I have tried to jumper it as a master and tried to use cable select, the IDE cable is know good and so are all three drives.

Any ideas?
