Can anybody tell me how i should set the jumpers on the motherboard becouse when i start the machine and it does not recognise the hard drive ???
the bios detcts the hd so does not use jumpers on motherboard for that. those jumpers are for setting cpu speed. what is the hd itself jumpered as as in master, slave or cable select? is the hd a western digital?
yes the hd is western digital and the jumpers are correct becouse when i put the hd on another computer it works fine ! what can the problem be ?
& that is why that motherboard doesn't see the drive. it is a wd issue as nobody else has that problem if hd is master & by itself. looking at the back of the drive, put the jumper horizontally across the top left & middle pins & hd will be seen. i have a 1.6gig wd hd in my hand jumpered like that & is seen on customer's socket 7 board.
so what you are saying is that if i put the hard drive as a master and then there is another hd as slave it will be recognised is that right ?
Well i came up with another thing the motherboard`s bios system does not recognise large hd than 20 GB couse the one i was trying with was 40 Gb and when i fitted the other one it worked !!!
what is the make & model # of the computer or motherboard to see if there is a bios update available? does the motherboard see the hd as a 20gig when it is a 40 gig?
no it doesnt it just doesnt show the hd but when i put a 20 GB hd or less it shows it ! the motherboard make and model is SIS 5598
Do you know where i can find updates for that motherboard and i have another machine it is intel celeron 333 MHz the motherboard make and model is intel GA-686LX3
I found a bios update for the amd Biostar M5SIB (PB Pegase) thats the model of my amd but i do not know how to update the bios can any body tell me how i can do it ??
