I recently bought a 400GB Western Digital Caviar SATA drive. However my BIOS does not detect it after POSTing. I have enabled the SATA controller in the BIOS. It tells me there is a problem with the drive. I can hear and feel the drive spinning up so power is not a problem.
My Mobo is an Aopen AK86-L so it's a fairly old system.
Anyone have any ideas what may be causing this?
Currently have 2 IDE drives (both 75GB Maxtors) on the primary channel and a DVD writer on the seconday. (Yes yes i know not opimal configuration but I can't be arsed switching them and setting jumpers.)
There is no other SATA drive in my system. Also, my first time with SATA stuff now.
