Hi everyone.
This is my first post, but I found lurking this forum very helpful during my recent first pc build (new gaming pc), so thanks for this great resource.
I have an old Dell Dimension 3000 that I use for office tasks/internet. A few weeks ago I installed a new WD IDE hard disc as the primary drive. Since install the pc has been working fine with windows xp.
Today however on boot I get the message 'Primary drive 0 not found'. In the BIOS Drive Config the Primary Master drive is listed as Unknown Device. Last night the drive seemed to be making a different noise that usual. I have checked the cables and all seem secure.
Any help with further diagnosis would be much appreciated. Thanks
