Soemtimes the automatic detection features of BIOS can't read the cylinders and heads properly. Go into the BIOS at boot and read how many heads, cylinders, and other info about the drive. If it doesn't match up to the info on the hard drive sticker, then manually change the settings to match. If the drive doesn't have the sticker go on the website or call the company
