No hard disk detected

[zhengche]

So I booted for the first time, and during the self-check it said no hard disk detected, so I reboot into the BIOS config, and it none of my SATA's are being detected except for my CD/DVD drive (although, I only have one harddrive, so that's not saying much). I'm positive I hooked up the SATA cables correctly, and I can't figure out what to do right now.

Please read your openning post ...

Pretend like you are an experienced technician who wants to help solve ...

Do you see enough info for anyone to provide useful advice ?

Sorry to be so "prissy", but I'm just going to let you guess what we might need to know, in order to help you.

Yay! ... It is a guessing game !

= sorry =

I think there is a bit of "general advice", in this doc, which might provide some insight, if not a solution. ... I am definately NOT throwing you this link, to be cute ...

... Think of it as a "life-ring", to keep you afloat until we get this boat turned around.
