BIOS won't Recognize New Hard Drive
I just installed a new master Hard Drive (Maxtor) on my Dell desktop. It's
about 3.5 years old. Upon entering BIOS, under Primary IDE Master, it says "NONE". It's my only hard drive installed. It's plugged in correctly, etc. What'g going on?? TIA! John S. San Diego

Have you removed the jumper? This type of drive requires no jumper if it's a
single drive. I just installed a new master Hard Drive (Maxtor) on my Dell desktop. It's about 3.5 years old. Upon entering BIOS, under Primary IDE Master, it says "NONE". It's my only hard drive installed. It's plugged in correctly, etc.

It's set to Master. I also tried getting it to be recognized setting it to
Cable Select. No dice  Any other suggestions? This is really frustrating... John

Try it in another machine. The symptoms are
a dead drive, but you should confirm that in a known good situation. "John in San Diego" wrote in message ... It's set to Master. I also tried getting it to be recognized setting it to Cable Select. No dice Any other suggestions? This is really frustrating... John

Can you change the 'none' setting to 'auto' and see if it comes up?
