Hi All,
Just put together a new system but BIOS does not detect drive. It
knows SOMETHING is installed because it tells me which of 4 SATA ports
it's inspecting while trying to detect, but it can't identify the
drive. The drive does vibrate as the PC posts as if it is
running, but falls silent and motionless and cold when the
"auto-detecting 3rd master" begins. Is the drive dead? Or is it
the motherboard?
Thanks for any insight (This is my first experience with SATA.)
Dennis
return to supplier................
I assume you mean return the hard drive? Not the mobo.
The mainboard works okay so far as I have determined thus far.
Installed xp pro on IDE. I also used the F6 function in xp
installer, which seemed happy enough with the drivers it had on hand
but insisted there was no SATA drive on the system and stopped.
So I will return the drive to Newegg.
Thanks to everyone. I learned a lot.
Dennis
