| 547392 | 2007-05-05 09:30:00 | The BIOS detectes it fine, but Windows Device Manager says the drivers were loaded successfully, but can't find the drive. I have booted into my diagnostic partition and tested it, and it passed. All cables are connected properly. Help! :badpc: | pcuser42 (130) | ||
| 547393 | 2007-05-05 09:43:00 | Have you tried booting into safe mode? | radium (8645) | ||
| 547394 | 2007-05-05 21:15:00 | No, I'll try that when I get time. :p | pcuser42 (130) | ||
| 547395 | 2007-05-05 22:08:00 | Nope, same problem in safe mode. :badpc: | pcuser42 (130) | ||
| 547396 | 2007-05-05 22:35:00 | Take it back and replace it with a better one, if its under 1 yr. Is it the only cd/dvd in the case, and not on the same ide as a hdd, and jumpered properly? |

| 547397 | 2007-05-05 22:43:00 | I'll try it in another computer before I replace it, it is jumpered properly, and on the secondary channel (I have 2 hard drives, both on primary channel). Edit: And it'll cost to send it back: I bought it from Ascent. |

| 547398 | 2007-05-05 23:02:00 | I tried it in another PC, and it works perfectly. It has to be a software or cable problem. | pcuser42 (130) | ||
| 547399 | 2007-05-05 23:05:00 | If u used another cable in this other PC, then yup the cable u were using is most probably knackered. Or u connected the wrong end to the cd. Change it. I doubt the drivers would be the prob unless theyre corrupted or something. |

| 547400 | 2007-05-05 23:23:00 | I just changed the cable, but no difference. There is also a Windows error sound heard on startup but no dialog box to go with it. (It happened from the start, but didn't think it had something to do with it.) | pcuser42 (130) | ||
| 547401 | 2007-05-05 23:25:00 | And has the cable got the blue connector on one end or not? If it has did u connect it to the mobo? |
