Right i did make a long post about my PC.. here is the link to it should you require more detail about my problem:

http://www.techist.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=100147

To summarise my problem:

I built a PC some of my specs are; DFI Lanparty SLI-DR, AMD Athlon X2 4800+, 2 x 1GB OCZ Dual Channel Platinum PC3200.

My problem is that whenever i connect my SATA hard drive - it doesnt go past the "Lanparty NF4" screen.

I also have a problem with one of my RAM but i will just ask for a replacement for them. (It single long beeps everytime i put them both in and one beeps with nothing happening with the other :S)

I am wondering if you might know what i can do before sending it back, here is some stuff i have done already:

* Tried playing around in BIOS and made sure its enabled
* Placeing it in different SATA places on motherboard
* Rewiring so that the HDD is a dedicated power supply cable
* Tons more and yet nothing..

Here is indepth model etc of the HD im using:

Seagate ST3250824AS 250GB 7200RPM SATA300 8MB Cache - OEM

Update: Either RAM does work however, it doesnt like both of them dual.. i aint changed anything in the BIOS if i need too and yes i put them in two oranges and have tried two yellows.. nothing.

and theres still the issue of no HD

did you install the SATA drivers for the HDD? they should be on disk that came with your motherboard.

I did try when i put it on SATA 5 and installing windows.. but nothing
