i just recieved my am2 barebones system threw in a 4600, HIS 1600, 2 gigs of ram and a 400 gig wd hd. for some reason i cannot get the bios to detect the hd. is it a problem with the hd or is there something im doing wrong? It is SATA btw.
 
thats what i was afraid of, but whenever im trying to detect hd on that ide spot it takes about 20-30 seconds to find nothing when the actually empty ones take about 1-2
 
If you have a old hardrive try to use that one on boot up and use the other as a slave and if that slave drive won't work you have a dao.
 
thats another problem is that i dont have any other computers lying around to test the hd with. im doing this on a pos laptop that i doubt has a 700 mhs proc ^_^
 
That sucks, maybe you should try the harddrive as a slave on someone ese tower. Like a friend or something.
 
yea soon as i get back to campus i might throw it in my roomates tower, but for now wd is sending me a new one.
