First label sure you are inserting the IDE cable into the motherboard and the hard drive contained by the correct orientation. It is sometimes possible to carry the cable into the slots upside down on the hard drive especially. Or are you using SATA?



Any article of the motherboard can go fruitless for many reason, including static discharge, power surge, defective components on the motherboard, or just broken connections on the motherboard. In certainty, check the pins in that slot on the motherboard as capably, to make sure none are bent over or something.
