Hi Folks, bought a new Western Digital WD10EVDS AV-GP Hard disk, plugged it in to my desktop along side the 500gb Hitachi master with Ubuntu 11.4 installed, with a new SATA cable, seems to be getting power, but the BIOS does not see it, tried a second new SATA cable and the other SATA slots, (2 of the 4 are free), still no joy.
plugged it into my neighbours Win 7 desk caddy which recognised it and Initialised it (as FAT32).
took it back to my machine and the result was the same, not seen by the BIOS.
Am I doing something wrong??? does it need a jumper or are they old hat now?
Any help welcome.
Ps , I bought this drive to replace the one in my Humax 9300t PVR box,
did not work, kept rebooting every 2 mins. apperently if I can copy some files from the old disk to the new, it will work.
Regards
Donald.
