Hey ppl, I just put together a new rig but I have a problem. Before I begin here are my specs:
Athlon 64 3500+
Gigabyte GA-K8NXP-SLI
X850 XT PE
Western Digital 160GB SATA HD
Ok, everything seems to be working fine but I have no clue what im supposed to do now. I put my boot disk that came with my mobo into my cd drive and when the time comes to press any key to boot, I get an error message stating that I have no hard drive installed. The hard drive is connected properly, I am using the 4-pin power connector and Ive also tried using the other SATA power connector, but not together. Ive tried connecting the hard drive to every single SATA slot that it has with different cables. Im sure theres probably something that I have to do either in the BIOS or install something to get everything working but I just dont know what. I really need your help. And, also, when the computer starts up I can hear the hard drive spinning and doing its little dance.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
