you must get the bios to recongise the drive first, you cant get to the second rung of a ladder until you step on the first!


do as stated above; make sure you put your new ide drive set to master jumper shunt, then connect to the "primary" ide connector on your motherboard (most of these are blue) the master IDE drive should be at the end of cable.

look in the bios to make sure your IDE controller is enabled

IDE auto detect should also be set to enabled

FWIW; setting up and IDE drive should be the easiest, motherboards & bios love IDE >>>> like a calf loves momma!
