Im putting together my new rig and came to aproblem.
ECS k7s5a
IBM 80GB 60GXP
XP 1700+
These are the only things installed. My mobo is not detecting my HD. When it searchers for it, I hear a BEEp BEEP sound comming from HD. Do I have a Bad Hd?
 
sure as heck sounds like it, you will probably have to end up RMAing it to them or returning it to wherever you bought it from

[EDIT] As a matter of fact, if you got it localy take it back and tell them what was going on and try to get another drive, if you bought it online try RMAing it
 
Yea, it posts and everything and the other devices are autodetected in the bios, I was just wondering If there was any sort of compatibility issues, or anything since this was an ATA133 HD. I have never installed one of these, but thought it wouldn't matter if the board doesn't support that speed. It just automatticly is default back to 100 right? My assumption is that it doesn't matter, but anyone think that may be a reason?

Oh, and the drive is a 120GXP
Anyone have suggestions on another 80 GIG drive? I'v built 4 other computers with the 60GXP series and have had none go bad. But than again I hear many storys about bad IBM drives. Go with another brand?
 
Well, i think its on Primary MAster. on the 120 GXP model. the 2 jumpers are vertical on the very ends..How many heads are on this thing. 16 right?
