*I originally posted this in Building, Buying, or Upgrading High Performance PC Systems but it fits better here and it won't let me delete that topic*
Specs in my sig. All wired up and in BIOS, my 200GB HD not reading. Screen is as follows:
Pri IDE Master: DVD-R
Pri IDE Slave: DVD-RW
Third IDE Master: 37.0GB
Third IDE Slave: Not Detected
Fourth IDE Master: Not Detected
Fourth IDE Slave: Not Detected
My 37GB is SATA and 200GB is IDE.
37GB SATA works fine. So, does the 200GB count as a slave (since my 37GB SATA would be my "master") or is it still a master, since it is the only IDE hard drive (and only IDE drive at all on its cable)? This will affect my jumper settings and which color of the IDE cable goes into the HD. I tried a bunch of combinations and no dice.
The best I got was to the Boot page and under Hard Disk Drives, both show up (So I know the 200GB is not dead at least), but in the Main page the 200GB is nowhere to be found. What gives?
Does this apply to me?
