Hard Drive Not Recognized

[azeem40]

Hello.

I am having trouble. My hard drive, a WD Scorpio 200GB, is not being detected in bios. AHCI mode is enabled. When I go into the Advanced BIOS Features, all the master and slave configs are none; however, my SSD is recognized as I am on my computer right now using it. I tried every SATA Port, EVEN THE SATA PORT MY SSD IS INSTALLED ON, and it doesn't work; I tried 2 different cables and still no recognition; I tried 4 different hard drives and still no recognition, so it is not a problem with my motherboard, hard drives, or cables. What should I do? I have been trying to figure this out for 4 hours.

Thanks!

you probably need the hard drive to become a slave drive instead of primary.

All the slave drives are on auto and it still didn't detect it.

try changing their boot priorities.

The boot priority is HDD HDD then CD.

make first primiary then slave then cd

It is already set up that way. SSD HDD then CD.
