Hi everyone. Hope you can help me.
I recently bought a Sata Seagate 500gb HDD. The HDD is used, but suposedly it works fine.
I planned to use it along with my other Seagate 320gb HDD.
At first, i had issues to make it work. The HDD was making beeping noises every 2 seconds. I exchanged cables like 4 times until the system detected it an the beeping noises stopped, but once I got into Windows, it just detected it for 5-10 minutes and then, same thing again, it was telling me the drive was not detected and the beep would start again.
I tried it again, and this time it worked for 2 hours, so I moved at least 150gb of games to it.
When I came back from work, the issue was still there and I had to restart.
Now it won't detect it or even start at all if it is plugged in. Strange enough, if I plug it in IDE mode (bios has an option to turn port 5 and 6 to IDE mode), it will detect it in the bios, but not once I get to Windows.
Any ideas? I ran out of solutions already
I don't really care about the data inside. I just want the HDD to work
My Motherboard is A88xM-E
