~Specs~
Motherboard: D975XBX
CPU: Q6600
Graphix Card: GTX8800
RAM: (1)2Gb Corsair
Hard Drives:
1) Primary/Boot- IDE
2) SATA, Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 ST3250318AS
BIOS: Intel with "BX97510J.86A" update
RAID Drivers: "RAID: Intel® Rapid Storage Technology Driver for Intel
Desktop Boards" Version 9.6.0.1014
O/S: Vista 32
Windows recognizes the hard drive and i can use it. I cloned my primary IDE to the new Seagate without a problem using Seagate's "DiscWiz ". Now i was going to make the new hard drive primary but this is where i ran into issues.
First, BIOS wont recognize it in the advanced settings under SATA PORT. Second in Vista, when you "activate" it and assign the drive a letter it doesnt show it could be boot able.
I've checked all my cables, reinstalled all my BIOS and drivers, i even tried re-cloning it and nothing. My brother broke my origal Vista CD, so reinstalling it that way is not an option for me.
Does anyone know how to fix the BIOS problem, it should help correct the boot-ability of the Seagate.
