HDD Not detecting

by anantanarayanb . Updated 20 years ago

Dear Techies,

I have a MSI motherboard with AMD processor. Whenever I am connecting a working drive to the Primary Master or Slave IDE port it is not detecting and some mechanical sound comes from the HDD, but whenever I am connecting to Secondary Master it solves the problem.

Here I want to mention one thing, The CDD is working fine with this port. But along with CDD if I connect a HDD then again the same problem arises.

Can anyone find the troubleshooting for this problem? I doubt in Primary IDE port, But I want to know what is the exact trouble here that it is creating prob. incase of HDD. And what is the solution to it?
