Need a little help

Hello.

I'm not quite the hardware expert but I recently purchased an IDE hard drive from Overclockers. I want to make it my secondary hard drive. My original one is also IDE and I can't seem to get it to work. I've done the jumper settings. It recognises my hard drive on "Device Manager" but it still doesn't show up in "My Computer" and in Bios it says "Not Installed" I was just wondering as to how I'm supposed to install it.

Thanks.

Thank you both for your help. How can I get BIOS to recognise my hard drive? I've set my hard drive with the operating system as primary and my newest one as secondary. BIOS recognises it as "Not Installed" but I'm not sure on how to install it

Does he mean take all the jumpers out?

rewindurmind · 26 May 2007 at 18:40

Well I took the jumpers out in the Samsung hard drive and this is what I'm getting still

Thanks all for helping. I'm formatting it now. If any other problems arise I'll probably request more help lol.

Thanks again,

James.

K. One more question.

How do I move my operating system onto my hard drive, without the disks? Is it possible?

I own a warez site, so it's all good
