Hello everyone.
I have a problem with this motherboard I just received from this trade recently. It is a Soyo KT600 Dragon Plus. The original one. I got this board up and running. I've tried searching around for this on the board but there was nothing that related to this situation. The problem is that when I hook up a sata hd up to it, it won't detect it as being connected. Usually when I do this on another motherboard, it'll detect it a second after the post screen that shows all the ide drives first. So when I tried installing windows, I'll hit F6 and install the specific driver from a floppy drive then it'll tell me there is no hard drive hooked up on there and press F3 to quit.
So after restarting the computer, I get back to that screen where its detecting the sata drives. It'll say to press tab to do something with the hard drive. So I go into that screen right there. It gives me options but the problem with that is that it doesn't let me select anything in the screen.
The sata hard drive boots right up and is spinning the whole time. I tried another sata hard drive and still nothing happens with the sata detection screen. It keeps telling me that there is no device connected. I even tried new sata cords and still, nothing.
I remember from working on another computer, that you have to setup an array with the hard drive. But the computer doesn't let me. Don't know why. Everything on the motherboard works.
So let me reiterate my question; What could be wrong with my motherboard:
Could it be a bios problem?
And how could I fix this?
Thanks for looking at my post
