WD Sata 250gb [moved from HD support]

A few weeks ago my hard drive failed. I went ahead and ordered a WD Sata 250gb. I put the drive in the available 2.5 in space, but my computer won't recognize the hard drive.

Where do I go from here? Please help..

Re: WD Sata 250gb

Hi

I can see you had the same problem with the old drive: http://www.techsupportforum.com/micr...ows-vista.html

Sounds more like a motherboard issue or a faulty cable.

Replace the cable.
Post back with the system specifications.
