Hi folks,
I have just built my first pc around this board,my specs are:
MSI K7N2 D I
2X 256mb Kingston 2700
Creative Soundblaster Live 5.1
Verto GeForce 4 Ti 2400
AMD XP2500
IBM/Hitachi Deskstar 80Gb
....and when I get there the OS will be Windows XP Home Edition.
On first bootup everything seems to be fine and well,cpu looks stable
at 36'C.I have gone through the BIOS setup - set the standard board
settings (F7),but my problem is the BIOS does not 'see' my HDD.It
doesnt auto detect it and I dont have the information for a manual
install.I have looked at the jumpers on the back of the drive - they
look good to me.I have also looked carefully at the cabling,swapped it
around and swapped it back,but to no avail.I have even swapped the
80Gb HDD for the one in my old system - which I know works perfectly
well,but again the BIOS does not see it.
I get the feeling this may be something very simple,but alas,I just
cant see it.If anyone can advise/help me here I will be very grateful
indeed.
Paul.
