Need help with adding hard drive.....

[airfighterjohn]

Just a thought--could it be a defective HDD? Maybe try out the drive on a different computer and see what it does. If it STILL comes up with the message, it may be a defective pin on your connector...

In the computer management you said it shows all drives. Does it ask you when you double click the drive that it has to be formatted first. Also does each drive have the proper assigned letter. Back to the BIOS. When you tab over to the boot set up try and disable all the other hard drives except the one you want to boot to and post what happens.Make sure that the HD you want to boot to is at the top of the list..Mike
