| 314684 | 2005-01-16 04:55:00 | Hello, I have a problem with a motherboard (biostat m6sba) detecting a new fujitsu 20g harddrie. the 2.1G barrier is not the problem as the old dick was 4.3 and was recognised as such. The mb did recognise the new drive for a couple of weeks and now wont. Does anyone know what the problem is??? I have checked connections etc but no change. |

| 314685 | 2005-01-16 05:14:00 | I would check the ide cable and the power supply going to the hard drive . See if theyre in properly . Since it was going before . What ide connection is it on?? Primary or Secondary?? And what else is connected to it?? Is it by itself or is a cd on the same ide connection?? And what version of windows is on it?? If windows was installed . Does the system go at all?? |

| 314686 | 2005-01-16 05:23:00 | Have checked the cables, its running XP but doesnt get through to that because the disk is not detected and when I ask the bios to auto detect the hdd it says it does not have one. | Fourpawz (6882) | ||
| 314687 | 2005-01-16 05:33:00 | Is it the only hard drive in the system?? Or have u got 2 hdd's in the case? Any CD's/DVD's installed? Have u set it to master or slave?? |

| 314688 | 2005-01-16 05:42:00 | Try your old drive (or another one) back in again & see if that detects Will it detect a boot floppy or a bootable CD Your new drive might be screwed or the BIOS may be shot & need flashed |

| 314689 | 2005-01-16 19:05:00 | If you reinstall your old HDD and set the new disk as slave, does it detect in disk management? Right click My Computer and select Manage > Disk Management. You might be able to get an indication of its status or perform a reformat as last resort. | pixeldust (6619) | ||
