help fix up a amd sempron

hi all its my old pc, i dont know what wire's goes where (the data cables)

 

Name that board.

 

amd sempron 2800+ via chip set

 

Can't you see a bit more on the motherboard ?
PC CHIPS/ GIGABYTE/ ASUS/ ASROCK/MSI ........
And numbers

 

MSI according to what i can see

 

That is like asking how long is a piece of string. First guess,
Start with socket A, (462) download this pdf manual.
http://www.msicomputer.co.uk/Products.aspx?product_id=703556&cat_id=77

 

You have to click on manual on right hand side.
This should give you basically all you need- if it is that motherboard, or, similar.

 

it is similar, but not the right one.

 

If it is similar, the wiring diagram will be similar.
Otherwise I need some other information from your motherboard.
That one was MSI KT4A-V

 

msi km4am

 

These are the other motherboards for socket A (462) VIA CHIPSETS

add my msn addy adamcrezz@hotmail.com

 

Are you looking at sata data cable connection ?

If so, the red lead fits on to motherboard port as in page 10, and the other end fits on to the smaller one on the sata drive (I assume it is not an IDE drive you are trying to connect.
Then the power cable (if you have a larger , but similar lead on your psu to the red sata data lead, fits to the larger l shaped slot on the sata drive, or, a normal 4 pin plug (never both).
If you have an IDE drive , it can only fit on an IDE drive.

 

i aint got sata leads on that proccor but i do need the IDE

 

Sorry IDE drive to IDE cable (the wide older cables (40/80 pin connection.

 

the leads are 39 40 pin plug and smaller lead is 34 pin plug and coulours black blue grey on lead pin holders

 

Right the IDE drive must be set as slave, unless that one contains your operating system, and connects to the motherboard IDE POINT ,( USUALLY THE COLOURED ONE), AND IT NEEDS A 4 PIN POWER CONNECTION AT THE DRIVE END.

 

Smaller lead is for floppy drive.

 

add me to msn make life easyer lol

 

All shewn on page 1 of manual.

 

on bOard i have a blue slot for 40 pins what ive done is,put the cable conncted to hd in to that slot and put a chunky 4 pin thing that click's on end of my hd

 

alsowhen screen comes on with out 4 pin it lets me get into bios and it wont detect my hard drive, it says detecting IDE Drives

 

Administrator please check out this member, as I think his name is for real, as no replies go to my e-mail.

 

wtf lol all i want is help

 

Sorry, as your replies do not get directed for me to reply in the normal manner, I cannot help you further - All I will sy is that if your hard drive is not recognised when the 4 oin connector is connected , then it is probably dead.
