Hello,

please help me. I really don't know what I did... I was supposed to install another hard disk as a secondary drive. but then, when I dettached it,
the BIOS states that

Primary IDE Master: not detected
Primary IDE MAster: not detected
Secondary IDE Slave: not detected
Secondary IDE Slave: not detected

I really don't know what happened.. then it writes "Reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key.:
Please, help me...
thanks

Hye Sir,

Remove the other Hard drive,

And check the jumper settings, just set the jumper to slave,

On the primary hard drive you had, assure that it's on master,

Just connect using the IDE cable and try to see if the Bios detects the 2 hard drive.
