The other day, I was connecting a new DVD drive. After the computer wouldn't recognize it, I disconnected what I THOUGHT was an old floppy drive we no longer used, so that I could connect a different IDE cable to it, in hopes that it would make the DVD drive work. It turns out that I disconnected my hard drive. I've reconnected it the same way it was connected before, I've disconnected and reconnected the IDE cables, I've made sure that pin 1 it connected to the striped end, I've tried to change boot order (It doesn't recognize the Hard Drive), It is now connected just as another computer in my house is connected. I only have one hard drive on that computer, and I'm running windows XP. How do I make it work?
