I put a new HD in an old Gateway pc running on Windows ME. It boots up fine, but says it's the old HD when I go into the system info. I've changed the jumper around & even took it completely off & I still have the same problem.

please post the make/model of the hard drive.

 

[jemk]

It is a Seagate ATA-100/IDE/OEM

 

[dai]

did you use a new 80 wire ide cable with it

 

[jemk]

No, I used the one in the pc.

 

[dai]

try a new 80 wire cable set it as master and use the end plug

 

[jemk]

I put in a new ide cable & set the jumper to master & it still has the old hd showing instead of the new one.

 

[dai]

is it formatted windows will not recognise it if it is'nt

depending on the age of the PC and 80 gig might not be recognized at all. does it show up in bios?
