Hello,
I just did a build, I put in a 915PL7AE motherboard in. It has four sata ports for hard drives. I got a cheap seagate hard drive, and a Seagate Barracuda 7200.7. Both are ide and not sata. So I bought the ide to sata adapter, and the cheap hard drive works great, holds my OS and music and movies. But I can not get my barracuda hard drive to work. The hard drive works great (100%) on other computers. And I have formatted it many times, but it still does not like my build. I have the jumpers set right, SLAVE. and the ide adapter works. My computer does not even show it on any screen, I have went under bios setting and it does not appear there, and i go under disk management and it is not there. My bios is set to auto detect, for the hard drive. I Tryed to do a bios update but it asks for a box file. And i have no idea what it is talking about. I have Pluged it into different sata ports and it still does not show up. The hard drive came with no softwear and i dont know if it needs any. Seagate support help says they do not help people with that kind of problem. It works on any computer but my build. Please help.
