I have an IBM 27 GB HD. My motherboard has 4 IDEs. When I put the HD in the third IDE by itself on its own cable, it doesnt show in my computer and it isnt detected. why? |

If the drive isn't fdisked in win98 it won't show up without a valid partition. If in winxp make sure that the ide controller the Hard drive is connected to is properly installed or at least enabled in the bios. |

You should also check the jumpers on the HDD and make sure it is setup as Master. |

The controller on the mainboard is what I was referring to. Make sure the drive is recognized in the Bios. |

my bios only recognizes my first two ide's, not the third or fourth one. |

What make and model board do you have and is the second set of controllers perhaps only for a RAID array? |

Promise PDC20276 ATA 133 RAID controller
Most integrated promise raid controllers are selectable as standard ide via a jumper or more recently via a bios setting. Check the manual. |
