What OS are you installing? You may need to load extra drivers for your motherboard's SATA controller. Also, depending on the age of the controller you may need to use a jumper on the drive to limit the transfer rates. As I recall I had drives that my system didn't detect and it turned out that I need to use the jumper. -- Christian -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
