please can sombody help i have got a Western Digital Caviar SE16 250GB sata 2 harddrive and i'm trying to install it on a asus a8n32-sli mobo i've installed the cable in sata 1 port on mobo connected the power supply ok
When i try to install xp pro it gets to the install page and it seems not to have detected the drive i really need help setting the right configuration up in the bios so it will detect the drive.Or do i need to do something to the drive ,i've left all the jumpers out in the back could that cause any probs..
