So I am building my computer from scratch and I can't get the computer to Auto-Detect My Primary Master Harddrive. It recognizes the CD drive and my slave harddrive in CMOS. I have both harddrive on IDE1 and my cd drive on IDE2. I have all the jumper settings right and the cables are all good. Does anybody have any idea what the problem might be? Or do I need to get a new motherboard?
Thanks for your help.

maybe a roll 'o' duck tape would help
or wack it a couple of times with a baseball bat |

Have you reset your bios?
Try only hooking up the primary hard drive
Is the jumpers on the primary set to primary and the jumpers on the secondary set to secondary?
Is the HD bad?
Do you need a BIOS update?
Is it all plugged in correctly?
Is your power supply good anough?
If you need more help, just pm me and I'll see what I can do for you. |
