BIOS hard drive problems
I have a computer I was working on putting together. It has a new
M863G motherboard with a AMD Thunderbird processor. However, I have not been able to get it to recognize any hard drives. It recognizes the CD-ROM, but ihas not recognized the 8 gig and 60 gig drives I have put in it. Both of these drives are usable and recognized in other systems. However they do not show up at all in the BIOS screens. I believe I have the jumpers set correctly to Master. Can you give me any more ideas of things to try that would make them visible? Thanks, Ken Walden |

BIOS hard drive problems
I've been doing one hard drive at a time. I know the cables are all
right because I've used the same IDE cable and power plug as I do for the CD-ROM. That is detected fine. I've tried all different jumper settings and it doesn't seem to make a difference. I would have to assume that the hard drive is dead, but that doesn't seem likely. The hard drive I'm currently using came straight out of a working computer, it's a 8 gb quantum. The other hard drive was a 60 gig that I couldn't get working in this computer and put straight into another computer in which it works. Very strange. |
