Re: Help Installing New HDD

Not working for me Sparky :( The SATA and power cables are connected. BIOS
is set to enable the drive. It shows up in Device Manager. Looks like I
need a couple jumper cover thingies to make it salve or cable select. Did
you not have to do this? According to the Samsung website, I'd need to
cover pins H F D B, for drives greater than or equal to 32GB. I've got one
cover that came off the old drive. Anything I can use temp. till I can get
the pin cover?
