I just purchased a WD 640Gig HDD from NewEgg.com Great huh? Well here's the thing. I tried to plug it in and that's where it all began.
Motherboard: A8V Deluxe. BIOS updated.
1 Gig RAM
No other hardware interfears with this issue.
I tried plugging the HDD into SATA RAID 1 and 2. No response. Ok it was worth a shot. I plugged it into SATA 1 and then 2. Got something. When it boots up it says that it's detected under Serial_Ch0 as the BIOS detects things. Then that's as far as it goes. I tried putting in a OS CD, Win XP never detects it as a drive to create a partition on. So then I put it in another computer which usues SATA primarily. It detected it as 131Gig HDD. Well ok worth a shot to get someone. I made the partition of 131 and formated it to prep for Windows. I then just took it out to see if I could do it on my own computer. Once I put it in it booted up and detected as a normal HD giving me the No NTDR error, which I understood and seemed fine. Once I put the XP disk in, it gets to the screen where I choose a disk drive to work with. Then when hitting any key, it gives me a blue screen stating that it's trying to save my computer from further harm and need to reboot. That's where I stand, no idea what else to do. :4-dontkno I want to whole 640gigs. Im ready to send it back honestly. Unless anyone has any ideas on what I can do from here. I just need to get the XP disk to read it, then Im good to go.
*Note BIOS has never recongized the device throughout the entire time trying, except on the other computer. I also fiddled with the BIOS, no luck on that either.
