Hello.
I am trying to build a new computer and for some reason I'm having trouble with BIOS detecting my hard drive as the Primary IDE device when I have both the Hard Drive and CD/DVD ROM drive connected to the IDE cable.
I used cable select on both devices, connected the CD ROM to the Primary IDE connection and the hard drive to the Secondary, BIOS does detect both devices but it shows the CD ROM as Master and the Hard drive as Slave. So I switch the connections around and I can't even get the BIOS screen to come up ?!?
In fact, the only other time I can get the BIOS screen to appear is when I just connect the Hard Drive to the IDE cable.
Both devices work and I have tried every other jumper setting and IDE cable connection and all I get is the following message when I turn on the computer:
"Reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key."
Any help would be appreciated.
