Recently I ordered a C2D E6400 and a MSI P965 Neo-F motherboard. They arrived yesterday and I began putting everything together. Once all pieces were installed and turned on, the hard drive was not recognized during boot-up. The hard drive is a Segate Barracuda.
I've checked all the BIOS settings and they're set to automatically detect IDE devices. I've tried moving jumpers around, having only the hdd on the IDE cable, different cables, all to no avail. When I go to enter setup after the system can't detect the hdd, it shows it in the pre-setup screen. So, my question is why would it recognize it there and not in the regular boot process? And, what can I do to fix it?
I'm going to bring my secondary drive and test the system just to make sure that it's not the current hdd that is at fault. But I doubt that anyways since it's being recognized one place and not the other.
EDIT: BIOS version is 1.5 and 533mhz DDR2 is installed.
