I'M running a system with ASUS Commando MB and am trying to install a
500GB Seagate SATA HD, for some reason the BIOS doesn't see it. even
though I've been using a 350GB Maxtor SATA HD on the system with no
problems. The MB has the latest BIOS installed and the jumper settings
on the 500GB drive are set correctly. Seagates Q&A doesnt supply any
info thats usable. Any suggestions on where to go from here?.
-Does the drive spin up?
-Tried a different cable?
-The jumper-setting on the drive is for 1,5/3,0 Gbps SATA-setting?
-are all ports enabled in BIOS? Are you using the SATA-controller
connected to the motherboards chipset?
I have a "Hot Swap" tray on the system so can readly swap HDs,which I
do often, to run different operating systems. The manual states on
page 2-29 to use SATA drive connectors 1/2/5/6 for master. I have my
HD on one (1), and a seral DVD drive on six (6). Works fine with the
other SATA drives I use. I'm using MB chip set SATA controller. The
info on the 500GB SATA drive says for standard use you dont need any
jumpers, that being said I'v e tried jumpering the HD in various
settings to no avail. I was hopeing that some one with the same MB had
run in to the same problem with a 500GB SATA drive. Thanks for the
reply, though, I appreciate it.
