Which SATA PCI card? - Part 4 - Not Working
Dear Experts,
I now have the HDD, PCI card, power splitter and an sata cable. I have installed the PCI card, it was detected nicely and I installed the provided drivers. I restarted the computer. I then switched the computer off, plugged in the new HDD, but it is not being detected.
What is going on?

What OS?
Make sure the new drive has the correct jumper settings.
There is a tutorial on jumper settings here if needed.

You'll also want to check your BIOS settings. If the drive doesn't show up in the BIOS then your system won't see it.

With a PCI SATA card sometimes the drive will not show up in the system BIOS but rather on the PCI Card Bios.... As soon as your computer beeps on booting, start tapping the F8 key to see if it gives you access to the PCI SATA Bios and allow you to select the boot device... ( I have one here that does this by pressing F8.... Your card might need pressing of another key).
Look it up in the cards manual...
