Specs:
AMD Phenom II X6 Processor
Asus M4A89GTD PRO/USB3
Asus HD 6950 DirectCUII 2GB
4x4gb Corsair Vengeance
Chieftec Nitro 85+
Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 1TB
I am somewhat of a rookie when it comes to PC building but I like to think got a decent grasp on it. Today when I was putting together my new home computer I ran into a problem. My bios will not detect my Barracuda HD
Everything else seems to be in working order but since I have no HD, I am stuck in an infinite loop of "Reboot and Select proper boot device" but it recognizes both my DVD drive with a boot dvd in it and my memorystick which also is bootable, tried to prioritize both but the result came out the same.
I read other places that people with the same problem had it fixed by simply getting their HD to work, which I really cant for the life of me seem to manage. I upgraded my bios, tried all the sata plugs, tried IDE/RAID (I am not really interested in using RAID), tried switching both the mobo connecting cables and the power supply connecting cables but still it wont work for me. the HD is brand new, same with everything else rly.
I checked the seagate sites and they had some firmware there, but since I cant actually go into windows I rly dont see any way to install it. Sadly I dont have the knowledge to manage to install it some other way(if it exists).
So I was really hoping someone here could help me out, I dedicated more than 30 hrs so far, testing out everything I could think of.
Hopefully you guys know
