So what I am wondering is what do I need to do to get this computer to recognize the new SATA HD, is there somewhere I need to install drivers for my motherboards SATA connections to work or something in BIOS?įirst thing you need to do is see if your BIOS is finding your drive during POST. But I didnt see anything, although keep in mind I dont know exactly what I am looking for. After reading over a handful of different sites and help guides I checked in BIOS to see if there was anything regarding SATA that I need to enable. My motherboard is a ASUS A7N8X-E Deluxe and has 2 SATA ports. But even then my computer doesnt recognize the new hard drive. So then I plug back in the old HD ( the IDE one ) and see if I can just use the new as extra storage. At the start of the xp installation it tells me there is no space to install too (apparently the computer doesnt know the HD is connected). I first attempted to pull out the old and stick in the new hard drive with my win xp cd to boot from. I recently just got a new DiamondMax 10 SATA hard drive, my old hard drive is IDE. Ok I am fairly new at all this so bare with me.
