K7t pro2: help setting up

I just got my new k7t pro2. The Bios cannot auto-detect the hard drives at all [i tried 3 different hard drives: 30GB Maxtor, 10GB Maxtor..] I did adjust the jumpers on the hard drives. What should I do?

 
Taurus - It's very difficult to FDISK and Format a drive that the controller on the motherboard does not recognize as being present.

Check and then double check your cables. Reversed cables happen - even to the best of us.
(remember, the stripe on the cable is pin 1 and is generally on the side closest to the drive power connector.)


Try a different I/O cable -

Check your bios settings - It might be that the controller is disabled -

Try the other controller connector - might be that the primary controller is out to lunch - don't know that you could boot from the second IDE but if the drives are recognized that points at the Primary IDE as being the problem.
