Hey guys ,

after posting yesterday about my new pc and all that i had problems getting power on the machine. This has all been fixed thnx for that. But now i wanted to boot up and enter bios to set everything up for use. But it seems that it doesnt detect the HDD in the bios.

I got it on sata entrance 2 now. Before i had it on 1 and it didnt detect it there either. Now ofc i cant go on without a HDD cuz i cant install anything

My spec is as followed:
I5 2500k
P67S-C43 (b3)
4gb ddr3 1333
gtx 560 ti
chieftek 550w PSU

can some1 help me out here its my first build!

Have you connected a SATA power cable to the HDD?

If it's all connected up properly and bios doesn't recognise it there's something wrong with either the drive or the board.

Edit: never heard of that PSU. I'd be wary of trusting all your shiny new bits to it.

it is all connected properly a sata cable to the mobo and a psu cable to the hdd. cant be much wrong rite??

Have you tried a different Sata cable/data cable ?

Failing all the above do you have a different HDD you can try?

My knowledge is limited!!! But people say reset CMOS. Don't hurt me lol

What drive is it? I had an issue with an SSD and a detection delay option in the bios solved the problem. Look for an option and see if you have a detection delay or staggered spin up option.

Clearing cmos is worth a try.

ok i have tried chaging the sata cable from the dvd thing (wich is detected ) and use it for the HDD , also switched sata ports. But again no luck. i have no spare Sata disk wich i can try and i have no idea what a cmos is??? im sorry guys im total noob and this is my first build.

At the moment my best guess is a faulty HDD.

StrykY · 4 Jun 2011 at 10:19

My GD65 does the exact same thing, although in the bios it's picked up, and on the post screen it says no disk detected

still works, so i aint complaning....

Think it might be due to using an hdd that had windows 7 already installed from my last build

Does the HDD spin up/make noise?

Make sure Onchip SATA and IDE are enabled.

so as promised i would post here if i figured it out. It seems the HDD was faulty. As i put in a new Samsung spinpoint f3. This was detected immediatly!
Thnx for all the help guys pc is runnign like a charm. Next thing is buying a cooler and OC the beast
