cannot get computer to detect hard drive

newguy5 · 01-12-2008, 08:29 PM

my computer is being finicky. i have the components in my sig and have been using a hard drive via IDE and just got a 250gb seagate barracuda 7200.10 250gb hard drive and no matter what i do i can't get the computer to recognize it at all. i've tried unplugging my ide entirely and the thing still won't get recognized. in fact, even if i leave all the ide's intact and i hook up the sata drive, the computer doesn't recognize any of the drives on ide or the sata hd. is there some bios setting in the gigabyte bios that might be causing this? any other ideas? thanks.
