I have just bought a new computer with a P5LD2 motherboard. I used a previous but not old ST3120026A Seagate hard drive. I connected it to the IDE port nearest the edge of the board. I set the jumpers on the drive to master. Now, the BIOS does not recognize the drive. It lists the drive when picking the startup order, but shows it bracketed. When I try to install the OS, it also says it cannot find a drive to install to. That drive and another one I’ve also tried worked fine in another computer. The system does find the optical drive and that works. Any suggestions?
