Hi Folks,
I've run into a problem installing a new SATA drive - Seagate 7200.10 400gb.
Currently I have two functioning SATA drives, I installed the third one into SATA3 on the mobo. After first boot I got the new hardware installed bubble and could see it in Partition Magic. I didn't format at that stage. A while later I came opened Partition Magic again and it failed to load. I rebooted and the new drive didn't appear. I shut down checked the cables and booted again, this time during the POST I got:
IDE Channel 0 no 80 conductor cable installed
(Strange error for a SATA drive no? - maybe this message comes up all the time and I'm only noticing it now - post goes too fast to see with the drive)
Swapped the cable, same thing. Tried SATA4 same thing.
With the new drive the computer will sometimes boot-up, the drive is showing in the BIOS, but once logged in no sign of it...
Raid is disabled for all in the BIOS..
The drive is spinning, but I can hear a constant clicking sound - not real loud, but continual...
Any ideas?
