The hard drive may be bad. Also check that the IDE cable used in connecting the drive is also good. you may want to try another cable and also troubleshoot by inserting the HDD into another system and see.

Hi there,<br />
<br />
I tried to install a Samsung SP1604N HDD on an Asus A7V600-X motherboard and the BIOS didn't recognize the new HDD.<br />
First I tried to install it as a slave. Then I removed my current HDD and install the new one as master, just like the current one. In both cases BIOS didn't recognize the new HDD.<br />
Any ideas ??<br />
<br />
Thanks :)

BIOS (ASUS A7V600-X) doesn't recognize new HDD (Samsung SP1604N)

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.
