Jun 4, 2021 at 12:40 comment added Tom Yan So how's the jumper on the IDE drive? And how is it connected?
Jun 4, 2021 at 12:25 comment added Moab Make and model of PC?
Jun 4, 2021 at 11:06 comment added Ramhound SATA does not have the concept of Master-Slave, are you 100% positive, your system even supports SATA drives. SATA and IDE are not compatible with one another. The WDC WD800BB-22JHC0 is a PATA (might be ATA depending on it's age) HDD which is not compatible and completely different than SATA.
Jun 4, 2021 at 10:58 comment added harrymc I can only see one disk in your BIOS image.
Jun 4, 2021 at 10:53 comment added Tonny And make sure that the IDE drive is on the END connector of the IDE cable. Not on the middle one. The motherboard is on the other end. The middle connector is ONLY for a slave drive (if present).
Jun 4, 2021 at 10:50 comment added Tonny Is the IDE controller visible in Device Manager ? Do you have "unknown devices" in Device Manager ? Are you sure Master/Slave setting is correct on the IDE drive? I've seen numerous cases where a system would initially work for a few years with bad master/slave setings and stopped working at some point when the electronics componets got older.
Jun 4, 2021 at 10:38 comment added gronostaj Are all drivers installed? Anything suspicious in the Device Manager?
