I never thought I would be so happy to see that the primary hard drive can't be detected.
So, I've exchanged one set of problems for another. At first, it would only detect the slave hard drive, but now it won't see either of them. I'm going to try switching IDE cables, but then... I don't know what to do next. I've checked the jumper settings... so what else could I do?
If any other kind people want to help me with ideas I would be a very happy little Lurker.

So the drive is IDE? Is it a new drive? Have you tried the drive in another computer? Make sure it is plugged into the primary IDE slot on the mobo. Make sure the cord isn't backwards, the way I remember it is if you fold the cord in half, the single connector goes to the mobo and the two connectors go to the drives.
WWBBD?
