Greetings to all, hope someone can help.
Tech Spec:
Gigabyte GA-P35C-DS3R Socket 775 8 Channel Audio ATX Motherboard
Seagate ST3500320AS 500GB Hard Drive SATA II 7200rpm *32MB Cache* - OEM
Intel E4400 Socket 775 2x2.00GHz 800MHz FSB 2MB Cache Retail Boxed Processor
EVGA 8800GTS SuperClocked 320MB DDR3 DVI PCI-E Graphics Card
Seasonic S12 II 500W PSU - 12cm Fan 80Plus Efficiency
OCZ 2GB Kit (2x1GB) DDR2 800MHz/PC2-6400 CL 4-4-4-15 PLATINUM XTC
I built this PC last year but due to a HD failure I replaced the HD with a new one listed (in bold).
Unfortunately the motherboard seems unable to recognise the HD and of course I can't load up the OS. Power is connected as the HD spins up and I've tried different SATA cables so it's not that. I've tried different settings in the BIOS but nothing seems to make any difference.
Any help much appreciated.
