Hard drive not forund-error message

[awojcik1]

I recently added a hard drive to a dell optiplex gx1 and I get an error message "hard drive not found" but in my HP computer I can use windows to see the contents of the drive, I am lost.

where do you see the error - can you post screen shot? or is it on boot?

 

[awojcik1]

it on boot. post wont start. i get several beeps (more than 8) and it says hard drive not found

when you go into the bios can you see the hard drives there?

 

[awojcik1]

no I dont think I can. The system like I said is a del and the BIOS is alittle confusing. I don't believe it is seeing the HD.

also, the BIOS it set to auto detect the HD aswell.
