503922 2006-12-03 02:36:00 I bought a new SEAGATE 250GB SATA HDD. I currently have Raid0 and want to move everything from that raid to the new hdd. The bios doesn't pick it up nor does SG's DiscWizard :waughh:

Should I just RMA or is there something I forgot to do?
It is running in Sata150 at the moment untill I get my new motherboard.

503923 2006-12-03 03:15:00 Have you checked all the power cable? SATA cable?

Does the drive actually spin up?

503924 2006-12-03 03:37:00 And was the old hdd the same brand/model/size as the new hdd??

I doubt it'll work properly, just by copying files from the old to the new hdd.

And yup, make sure u connect the data and power cable to the SATA.

Thats most probably why the BIOS doesnt see it.

I'll try find another cable to test.

Same brand but I currently have two 80GB's. The new one is a 250GB. I am norton ghosting which has worked for me 100% everytime so I have faith in it working :D

The HDD spins up and what I have found is it takes 5min to boot into windows when the hdd is stuck in (but this will be because it is trying to boot from it).
