you need to be more specific, so what operating system? what size drive? does it show up in the BIOS

make sure that SATA is supported by your OS and any drivers are installed that may be needed, but my guess is you forgot the power cord when installing it, so check that too, many SATA drives have two spots for the power cable, and you need to use only one (as its often a molex and an SATA power connector)

Do you have other drives installed on the system ? Is this a new drive ?

There is always the possibility that this is a bad drive.

ensure that SATA is enabled in the BIOS, then check the cables again, probably switch power and data cables to see if thats the problem

if it still doesn't work then try and get another SATA drive and see if that works, its possible its a bad drive, but its very rare for a bad drive to not show up in the BIOS, usually they show, but don't work if its bad

borrow sata power cable from your friends and see whether hdd detects in bios. same thing happened to me and after changing the power cable hdd recognised.

also in bios, HDD above 137GB will not be correctly shown. It will be shown with incorrect size.
also download "reg_48bit_lba.exe" . for location google it.install and enable 48bit lba to recognize HDD.

plz post ur reply
