Hi Rockos,
Where are these drives hooked up on the ribbon cable? Is the Harddrive hooked into the Gray (middle) and The DVD rom hooked at the end of the cable?
How is the Bios detecting these drives?
Thanks,
Bill

rockos · 01-23-2008, 05:30 AM

yes the hdd is hooked up to the gray 1 and the dvd rw hooked up to the end of the IDE cable,
bios is detecting hdd as master and dvd as secondary

**BCCOMP** · 01-23-2008, 05:34 AM

What is the make and model of the Hard drive?
Thanks,
Bill

rockos · 01-23-2008, 05:42 AM

Seagate Barracuda 80GB
ST3802110A

**BCCOMP** · 01-23-2008, 05:46 AM

Hi rockos,
Review this link and tell me what jumper setting you have on the HD.

Thanks,
Bill

rockos · 01-23-2008, 05:49 AM

Master or single drive. If you are installing your Seagate hard drive as the only drive in the system or if it will be the primary boot drive for the system, the jumper should be set on pins 7 and 8.

**Deleted090308** · 01-23-2008, 05:54 AM

Try setting both drives (HDD and DVD) to cable select.

**BCCOMP** · 01-23-2008, 05:59 AM

Hi,
Eneles maybe right. Try setting both as Cable select. As far as the way you have it hooked up now it should be this:
"Drive as master with a non-ATA-compatible slave (Seagate® drives only). Set a jumper on pins 5 and 6 and a jumper on pins 7 and 8. Use this jumper setting only if the drive does not work as a master."
Let us know how you make out>
Thanks,
Bill
