Problems with my new sata

Hello,

This is all rather new to me so please bear with me. I have build a pc with the assistance of a friend. Everything has been changed except the HD. I have just purchased a Western Digital Caviar Green WD10EADS 1TB 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive to use for storage. I connected it to my mobo and it is not being seen by my bios. My full details are below.

Thank you for any assistance.

try this, go into computer management in the contol panel and click on disk management, it should show up as a unpartitiond disk and will need to be formated into ntsf

 

No, its not showing as it is not even being found by bios.

 

RAID?? Who said raid?
________________________________
In BIOS SATA may have to be enabled...

The SATA drive is 3.0gb/s does the MOBO support SATA II ? regardless the HDD needs the jumper set accordingly, jumper is needed for SATA I, 1.5GB/s mobos

Is the correct SATA header being used on the MOBO

 

Okay, RAID is utterly over my head. I have the jumper over the first two pins.

 

Not exactly true...
Not All BIOS are the same, nor are the options


Here's a Free BIOS GUIDE too help whom ever
Many of the SATA options are covered in the Storage Subsystem section:major

 

Dont worry about Raid

I suspect your Bios isnt configured correctly or the HDD isnt connected correctly

You have a MOBO manual? double check everything, check the BIOS guide I posted.

After that if still no work, Maybe Dead HDD, Use WD free Diagnostic utility, I think its called Data Lifeguard Tools... This used to come with retail HDDs, free download at WD web...
