Okay well, another day, another bump in the road.
I decided to finish putting my gaming rig together tonight, and during the initial boot up, my hard drive was NOT detected. I tried again after "loading optimal settings", exiting, and saving, but again when I looked in the BIOS after restarting, the SATA peripherals were showing as none. Besides my SATA Raptor, I have a 16x NEC DVD RW which showed up with no problem (IDE).
I've tried using legacy power connectors (4 holes) as well as SATA power connectors (never both at the same time), and both ways it still goes as "undetected". This is a brand new factory sealed hard drive mind you.
I have the DFI NF4 SLI-DR board. Do I need to set up anything specific in the BIOS or adjust any motherboard/hard drive jumpers (although WD says jumpers are not necessary in SATA drives), or maybe I just got a defective Raptor?
As always, any info/help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
