Hello,

Try this 1

If you are using PATA hard drive and using the same IDE data cable to connect

the hard drive and CD\DVD drive then make sure that your hard drive is set to

Master and the drive as Slave using jumpers. You can find the jumper settings on

your hard drive\DVD drive.

Good Luck

If you are using same IDE cable for both, then get an another IDE cable and try connecting the hard drive \ DVD-Drive to another IDE Slot on the motherboard. Also try connecting another molex power connector to your hard drive \ DVD-Drive.
Good Luck

Set the jumpers both in hard drive and DVD drive in cable select mode. Now check which one is being detected.
Good Luck
