HDD not found
I have 2 ide HDD that I have used for over a year. I had them out of the machine for 2-3 months while I worked on other parts of the PC and my Jeep. When I put them back in The pc says it is trying to find them then says they arent there and moves on. In another PC of mine it just goes past them. And they arent in the my computer list.
I have tried 3 different cables with them. I have tried them one at a time. and as master and slave. I even tried them as slave on the primary ide cable in place of the DVD RW. They worked perfect until I took them out.
Sorry but I posted this as part of a XP software thread, before I noticed the HDD group. The other issues I posted over there are resolved.
When I get them working Im going to add them to my main machine with a raid card i have. I had them hooked up that way once before but they werent stable. They would show up now and then, but never both everytime. Gotta figure that one out next. It would be easy to just go buy a 500 gb SATA HDD but what challange is that?
Im only doing this because I have them, and I need space, and cant justify buying a new HDD if I have 2 sitting here that "worked".
Hit me up with what if any questions you guys have.
All my "spare" money is going into my 1991 Jeep Wrangler project. I have another 2 grand In parts and tools to spend before the jeep is "done" they are really never done. But I plan to mod a case to look as much like the Jeep as I can when the Jeep is done and this PC is working the way it should.
Thank you guys for all the help in the past present and future.
