I have tried many things to get this to work including lots of FDISKing with all sorts of options...don't believe there is anything wrong with the HD; it is fresh out of box.<br />
<br />
Provide steps in order and alternatives to try as well.<br />
<br />
Thanks.

Alex, check two things.<br />
<br />
1. Make sure that the drive is being recognized correctly in the Bios setup.<br />
<br />
2. Make sure that the system does not have a virus in either the boot sector of the drive or in the bios.<br />

I understand Alex, but are those parameters correct for the drive make and model parameters? Do you have the Bios set to auto recognize the drive or are you setting the parameters?
