2 HD's One Showing.
I just bought a new Hard-drive. I have all the cords plugged in correctly but neither the bios or vista detects the new drive. I found out, it is only detecting the first two items in the SATA connection, the ignores the other two. This may be weird, but my cd/dvd drive uses one of those connections. And No I can't just disconnect my cd drive as I need it. I switched out the hardrives so the new hd is in SATA 0, and it worked fine.
So, my problem is, How do I make it detect all four slots? I am running an inspiron 531 motherboard. I checked the bios, and I didn't see any option for this. Please Help! |
