hello, I have a little problems. I've recently build my self a computer and I got it going but when i get to the bios, there is no trace of the hdd being detected.This becomes an issue because I can't install / find the hdd when I try and set up/ install windows 7 premium. I tried changing the sata mode(die, ahci, raid), used a different sata cord, and tried all the sata ports and still not luck. I'm new to the whole computer lingos. Did I damage the hard drive or something?

Im using

motherboard: Asrock z75 pro 3
Storage: Seagate barracuda 500 gb
(Using the bronze build from this site with just the change of the case)http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/core-i5-overclock-p...

Have you double checked the power cable? It sounds like you have checked the data cable and different SATA (data) cables. Check the power connection and report back if that does not help solve the problem.
