Just purchased a new Compaq 3.2 Ghz computer with SATA hard drive. Trying to add my older ATA 133MHZ hard drive.
Added a Syba PCI EIDE card and it installed successfully. However it doesn't recognize the ATA hard drive.
I also connected a Zip disk which it does recognize.
I removed the jumper on the ATA hard drive to make sure it is the slave. It's a Maxtor Drive.
I've tried installing new hardware but it doesn't seem to see the ATA hard drive either.
I am able to connect the hard drive to the open slot with the DVD Burner and it works there. But that's not where I want to put it.
What could be the problem?
Thanks,
Greg
