This is interesting as my mate has just told me that nothing came with the hard drive but the drive itself- although it was apparently recognised in the bios as being connected perhaps we have not installed it properly. I appreciate the advice. So I am just speculating here but perhaps we need to download and install something for it to work or perhaps they should have supplied a disk with the HDD
As you say you built a mates computer with sata hard drive can i just clarify...
when do you put in the hard drive install disk. Is that before you put in your windows disks. Ie you install the HDD first by putting in the driver disk then you proceed with your install of windows? correct? If so I have a feeling that we just plugged in the HDD and then went straight to installing windows
EDIT I just looked at where you edited the post above for install help- much appreciated man
