| 260402 | 2004-08-11 05:29:00 | On an old computer of mine I have 1 small hard drive. I also have a couple of bigger drives that were working a month ago but the other day when I tried instaling one it wasn't working so I checked all the connections and the jumpers. Everything was ok so I checked the bios and they were set to AUTO but when I started the computer it couldn't load the drives. I then tried this with the other drive and the result was the same. WHAT ELSE CAN I TRY??? |

Since they are all 'old' drives, are you sure they are in good working condition? However, you may like to check the jumper settings, signal and power cables again. Cheers and good luck. |

| 260405 | 2004-08-11 05:51:00 | Can you try the HDDs in a known good machine just to be sure they're still OK ? Does the BIOS pick up the floppy / cd-rom etc ? Can you recognise the BIOS , and perhaps get access to another computer to obtain a BIOS update ? Could you manually set up the HDD parameters in BIOS , rather than selecting Auto ? questions , questions ... Good Luck |
