    My computer's hard drive stopped working last week so I bought a new replacement one. Samsung ATA.

    This computer has an old motherboard (ECS k7sem motherboard)

    I just installed the new hard drive

    Put the jumper on the HD as a Primary Master

    I turn on my computer

    But it won't detect the new HD, so I can't install Windows XP.

    What do I do? This is my first time installing a new hard drive.
