HHD won’t be detected

by c-koehling . Updated 24 years, 5 months ago

Hi evera Body, my name ist Cecil (m/28) I’m new hear and pleasent to increase my Knoledge in the Computer-Branche.

I have a Question, and Ithoght maybe someone could help me.

I friend of mine wonnteda new HDD. so I bought one for me and one for Him (WD 60GB) for about $140. I had no problem, and becouse his Computer is not moch older than mine, thought he wouldn’t get any problem.

—The BIOS won’t detecht the HDD. and not even when I give the Specs.—

We tried everything that crosed my Mined. EZ-Driver(or is it EZ-Bios…?), and the EZ-Bios helps but only when the new HDD is connected as “Slave” and this Software runs from the Master HHD(wich is 9.GB)

I have not Idea why that might so be. I thought every BIOS that recognizes HDD biger that 8GB, has no Problem with Largerones.

My last thought is…
….maybe if my friend byes an Controlercard, but I don’t know how it works, and I don’t Know if the Computer will recognize the HDD when just the largerone is conected at the Controler.

I’m open to suggestions, and I HOPPE You excuse my orthographie.

Thanks

Cecil Koehling
