Hello there. I'm new to the forum. I have a dell dimension 4300 and
after 3 and half years it decided to mess up. I installed a brand new
40gb hard drive in Feb and that was running fine. Installed a wireless
network card and upgraded the memory ran fine about a day. It does not
read any hard drive you put in there. I tried 4 different ones. It
knows theres a HDD there as in the BIOS it says primary disk 0 is a
Hard drive with 40GB on there. I tried a new IDE cable, still no
luck. Even chucked in an ATA133 card. It doesnt do much. it can see
theres a drive there just doesnt use it. I assume its time for a new
mother board? If so i was told all the parts of this motherboard
should fit nicely onto the dimension 8300 motherboard. Correct?
Thanks guys.
