Brand New Seagate HD not recognized by brand new ASUS MOBO

[girardmike]

I have everything connected properly. I've tried two new SATA hard drives, neither is reconized in BIOS.

I'm completely new and know little aside from my research. Could someone help me?

Hi there.
Which hard drive exactly and which motherboard do you have? be as specific as you can please.

Hi there.

The MOBO is M4A77TD and the hard drive is actually a Western Digital WD2500SW model.

I did try a Seagate but I don't have the model for that right here. The same result for both hard drives.

the make of the mobo is ASUS M4A77TD.

I don't remember th2 2500SW
I'm looking at two of the 2500SY REs right now. Are the SWs EIDE?
