has anyone have and HDD detection issues?
i got a i7-950, overclocks like a dream come true for me (in bios that is).
ram i got is 8 gigs of corsiar 1600mhz ram (xms) (4x2g). that one with the cooler on it model:
problem: posts, with an issue of it not detecting my WD caviar black 1tb hdd.
model: WDC WD1001FALS-42K1BO
it won't detect it on sata 1 or 2; i found i needed a "lower-end" cable and a big speed reduction since it only runs at 1.5gb/s, while sata1&2 run at 6gb/s with the right cable(s).
i got it to detect in the bios, but how can one detect it during post.
some extra info: i transfered this hdd from another pc. i've never had issues doing something like that, since i always reinstall windows on it.
another issue, i can't detect my usb drive with my windows7 on it either so i can't even install.
this is just arggg.
will have more questions if i ever get this thing to boot
