Flashed Bios on K7M.. no prob...Second HD won't auto recognize?

[Spike2000]

Hola,
Probably a simple question. (I think i've had this happen in the past) Bios Flash seemed to have gone perfect. My main HD is doing fine(did Fdisk/Format -no prob). My secondary IDE has my second HD & CD ROM attached. It doesn't seem to recognize either of them in the BIOS. (I have not even moved the computer, let alone change any h/w since the BIOS flash & they used to work fine)...This presents a problem since I need to install Windows now...Also, I was hoping that I could avoid USER defining the Drive in the Bios since I cannot remember the Model of the 2nd HD (and I would prefer not to pull the drive out to find that info....) Can you think of an easy fix?

Have you gone into integrated peripherals and made sure the secondary contoller is enabled?

Try going into the bios and in the exit section selelect load original values. Shut off power. restart go into bios try to detect drives again. You may have to check other settings as loading original might of changed some of your settings. You can also use load optimal values.

Usually after updating bios you should boot and load defalt values first off.

I hope this works for you.
