I have a dell 566 system that is about 3 years old. My 20 gig hd was getting a little crowded so a friend of mine got me a used 40 gig from his work that he said worked fine. I went to add the 40 as a slave and it didn't detect either one. So i took it back out and just ran the original again. Didn't find it either. I tried back and forth between the 2 hd's and can get a read on either. I called tech support and we went thru all the tests and found nothing. The guy said my motherboard had gone bad. Well my system was slow anyway so i ordered a PC DDR 266 motherboard bundle off of ebay which consists of a mobo/cpu/and onboard sound/video and lan cards. All i had to do was add my hard drive and memory. I hooked everything up correctly and on the first boot it found my hard drive but gave me an error message saying that windows would not boot due to some internal error. So i took the hd out to check and see if the jumpers were set correctly and they were so I booted back up and now it doesn't recognize the hard drive. My new system won't recognize either hard drive which I know are perfectly fine. Please help guys! Here is the new system I got:
