kyle1212 · 05-11-2008, 01:05 AM

no that didnt work. i just relized that theres no jumper on the back. thats probably the problem. is there anyway to replace it?

Take a jumper from an old drive you're not using anymore.
Otherwise - ask in the local computer shop.

kyle1212 · 05-11-2008, 01:29 AM

Okay thats the problem?

And i dont have an old drive. so...
Do computer shops carry them?
ill go on monday. ill be back then for a report.

THANKS.

Any computer shop should have jumpers.

Don't know if that's the problem - but the drive should be jumpered if it's IDE.

kyle1212 · 05-11-2008, 02:28 PM

Okay i will go tomorrow, and it is IDE. hopefully thats the problem. ill check back tomorrow.

kyle1212 · 05-13-2008, 07:51 AM

blue
grey
black plugs
the blue plug into the m/b
the dvd jumpered as master on the end black plug
and you need to upgrade the power supply to this to get anywhere

Yes, i know i have to get a new PSU, im just busy with life at the moment. ill hopefully get one on saturday.

and i know i have the 80 wire IDE. and yes its all set up. jumper on master, and right plugs.

could it be a dead IDE slot?

**eneles** · 05-14-2008, 07:50 PM

If the IDE slot was dead you wouldn't see the drive in BIOS.

kyle1212 · 05-15-2008, 08:48 AM

I dont see the drive in the bios, it has nothing under master, or slave.

dai · 05-15-2008, 09:08 AM

is the ide channel enabled in the bios

kyle1212 · 05-15-2008, 10:46 AM

Yeah, i think so. Can you explain how to do that?

**eneles** · 05-15-2008, 11:13 AM

Enter BIOS and load default settings - then the IDE channels should be enabled.

kyle1212 · 05-15-2008, 07:06 PM

still nothing. >.< Danggit.

dai · 05-15-2008, 07:38 PM

you will not get anywhere until you replace the psu

kyle1212 · 05-16-2008, 08:19 AM
