couldn't hurt to swap out the cables. |

Are the drives you are using brand new and unpetitioned?
Also, yes, try a new cable, and make sure its in tight.
If you can, test the drive in another computer, a friends, whatever, see if it detects every time in the bios.
If it does, well, you have a cable or a mobo problem, not a drive problem.
BTW I just hated the ACER Pentium 1 series boards cause they were plagued with little problems like this. Just my opinion in case any ACER lawyers actually read this post - LOL |
