I am currently trying to fit an additional SATA HDD to my current system, which runs on an old serial cable setup. I have bought a coupler and sata converter and installed it all. However when i run the system up it fails to find the operating system on my old HDD, when i enter setup i hit auto detect HDD and change it to manual, but its not finding any HDD at all. I have tried swapping it from Master to Slave on the ribbon cable, and vice versa again, and still no joy.

Any help greatly appreciated.
