Adding an internal hard drive

rachelannhampton · Jan 20, 2018

Trying to add sn extra internal hard drive on Dell precision 3600. Fits in to place easily but does show up. It's like it doesn't exist.

As far as I remember, Dell has a nasty BIOS that requires to enable each SATA port in BIOS. if the port enabled and the drive is not connected, it will annoy with warning message during boot.

Sata ports are enabled shown by a tick .. but hard drive still not showing

If the drive does not appear in BIOS, make sure it's connected to both power and SATA cables and that those cables are good (changing them is a good idea).
other than that, faulty hard drive is very probable

Tom hard drive appears in bios but even changing Sata ports isn't working and tried enabling them individually... seems impossible. Tomorrow taking it to a technician... Hard drive must be fine and cable, both are brand new and it appears in bios
