Answer»

Its a slotted pentium 3, Asus P3B-F Jumperfree ATX Motherboard, 320 mb SDRAM, Western Digital Caviar 205AA 20.5 GB Model # WD20AA- OOANAO, RJ45, Modem,Sound Card MASA Sound Advance Logic inc. ALS4000, Trident Blade 9880 A Gacoz H2T42.00 9952/39123851 Trident '99 AGP, Promise Tech inc. Wasn't sure about the sound card and video card just what it said on it. The Hard Drive isn't seen in the BIOS and I changed the drive and the IDE cable and still nothing. Its JUMPER is set to master. When I connected it to an external HD connector I COULD see the drive. I tried removeing everything an putting it in a PC like it cards,HD,CD - ROM. Its a complete blank drive, but i had tried one with an os on it 2k. I have 3 of these same machine I'm useing drives from the an hardware. Tried looking for dload on westerndigital site but it didn't find it.



Your description was somewhat hard to decipher, but it sounds like you're just having an issue with that one drive.

However... your subject says "won't see drive2." If this is in fact a second drive on the same computer, check your jumper settings on drive1 and your optical drive (cd/dvd-rom/rw)

Post that here.No something else is wrong and I don't know what cause I can see the drive on my other pc's. This is a continueation of Won't see drive.Ok. If you don't want to post answers to questions in ORDER to help you, I can't do anything for you then.I just did! There is no slave just a master an no matter what pc I connect it too it isn't being seen an I use the same stuff in the other pc to make it like the one I was useing, the drive works cause I used an external.You're not being clear at all.

First of all, why does your post say "Won't see drive 2"

Second, if "there is no slave" like you say, then you have issues. You can't have every device set as master.

Tell me more specifically what is in the pc. Is there a cd-rom/dvd-rom drive?
Is there another hard drive?
what are the jumper settings on each?Changed the main drive its know an 80 gb maxtor and is working.Ok. Glad you're working, but hopefully no one else has a similar issue as you, as we haven't figured out anything.

I'm guessing that drive you replaced isn't bad, since you stated it would work as an external drive.Yeah wierd it was a western digital
