whats wrong with hard drive in BIOS?
My motherboard BIOS isn't recognizing my hard drive after I screwed
around with the settings(its pretty messed up). How can I set everything to default so the motherboard can recognize the hard drive from the master IDE. PS I could give you the specs and all but I in kind of a hurry but I'll post it if its necessary. |

What was it you "screwed around" with? You should be able to go into BIOS Setup, make sure the IDE channel is enabled and "Auto" detect the drive. Is the HDD not seen at all or does the boot fail? If the latter, DL a copy of BootitNG from www.bootitng.com and see what its partition manager sees on the HDD. -- Rgds, George Macdonald |
