I see you've had no luck so far with your query.

I can't help you, apart from putting it back on the current page - but perhaps 2006 will bring better fortune..?

What IDE connector did you connect it to on the motherboard?

Then it should work . The BIOS has to recognise the hard drive, before windows will see it .

Also, make sure the IDE cable you're using, is the right way round .

If the IDE cable you're using has a blue connector on one end, the blue end gets connected to the motherboard, NOT to the hard drive connection .
