ok i jsut got a 80gb maxtor 9+ sata HD. Now this is a new computer so i was trying to install windows and i came across the problem that the computer couldnt find a Hard disk drive. I tried everythign under the sun to see if it was a mechinal problem (Power, cable, Sata/standard power cable, both sata 1&2 MB ports) and nothing changes it.
i tried going to f6 to load drivers for the sata... and that seemed to work fine but in the end the comp still couldnt find my hd. I have no clue what to do.. could anyone help me.
Also reading other threads i found somehting that might have helped me. In the advanced bios screen there is an area called bootable add-in device. Under there, there are 2 options: Pci slot device and onchip sata raid. Would this be of any help or am i just hoping to much.
thanks for any help you guys can offter
