Help connecting a new sata hard drive
Hi sorry if I posted in the wrong forum but I got this hitachi sata 320gb hard drive from newegg and didnt come with any cords or drivers, just the hard drive. Ive been having problems trying to get the pc to reconize the hard drive, here is what I have done that hasnt worked, ive tryed connecting the sata cords to different slots on the motherboard, I have enabled all my raid ports, Ive gone to disk management and it cant even read it, I can feel the disks inside the drive spinning so I do know that its recieving power, Ive loaded the vista disk and clicked install and went to where it wants to know where you want to install it and it cant find the hard drive. The model number is P7K500 and its a hitachi sata 320gb hd. If anyone can help I would apreciate it, I really need this drive hooked up because im out of space in my 160gb hard drive. -- xXwhygodwhyXx |
