Hi guys, :wave:
I could really use some help here.
I am currently working on my sis in laws puter, upgrading it a bit.
I am having problem getting the bios to recognise the new hard drive. I have put it in my computer, it works fine, I used it as both a master and a slave, no probs. I have checked her ide cables, again, they work fine, plus I used mine which I know work well and it still doesn't see it. I thought it might be the hard drive itself (which is a Maxtor 40gig, 7200rpm) so I tried mine (a 80 gig seagate).. nope, doesn't see that either.
so I download the lastest bios and flash the bios, that works, but still not seeing the hard drive..
I believe the ide plugs on the mobo work fine, because they see the burner and cdrom, also the tests I did with the cables proves them to work aswell..
Finally, I put the old hard drive back in.. the damn thing doesn't see that either.. :angry2: I am at a loss guys and gals.. would appreciate any new ideas, or even a fresh outside view of my own.. maybe I am not doing some thing right.
