The cables and drives are notched so I wouldn't be able to turn them upside down (easily at any rate). And BIOS isn't recognizing the drives, it's not just that Windows won't boot up. The boot disk works fine and all, but even when I tried running FDISK it still told me it couldn't see any...

One problem I ran into when I was building a PC about a year ago was that I forgot to put the seperator pins into the case to keep the motherboard from being bolted straight onto the metal. This caused my motherboard to short out completely and it stopped running either in or out of the case...

Damn....why does my Circuit City store have to be so damn slow....

Not to mention cheap!

The power cables are sealed... the hard drive power lights are on... I just gave up on the optical drives, figuring it'd be fewer wires to screw around with. I haven't changed the jumper settings since I last was able to get the computer running fine, but I'll see what happens when I just...

Sorry, I must be retarded or something... I put in the K8V CD that came w/ the motherboard and from there, there seems to be no way that I can get a floppy made... I can install RAID controllers directly from the CD, but when I go to set up XP in DOS, it says I need a floppy... How would I go...

Awesome, thanks a lot!

Thanks... Would I just get them off the Maxtor site? My HDD came with an assortment of bubble wrap... That's about it.

I'm building a new system (all the final parts just came in the mail today) I've got an Asus K8V delux Motherboard and I ordered a Maxtor 200GB SATA Hard Drive... I'm trying to install Windows XP on the hard drive (it's connected to the SATA 1 controller), but yet -- it doesn't detect the...
