go to manufactures website of the hdd and dowload the mainteneance utility for it ( ie Maxtor is called MAXBLAST 4, WEstern Dig is called Data Lifeguard), run the utility and "initialize the drive and reboot. Then enter bios and verify that the the mobo can "SEE" the drive. Then your in bizz bro :wink:
