Hello all,
I just recently put together a new desktop computer and everything turned on properly but I can't seem to get it to recognzie either my sata 500gb hard drive or 64 gb ssd drive to put my operating system on. In the mobo manual it seems to say that I need to have an operating system on the desktop before I use a sata drive but how would it be possible to do this without using the sata drive to put the operating system on in the first place? Also, right before the dvd disc with the operating system tries to load, I see that the mobo isn't recognizing any hard drive and so I can't even go into the bios. Any help would be appreciated. Here are the specs I'm using for reference;
case-XCLIO Blackhawk extreme full tower cooling case
mobo-Asus p8p67 pro lga 1155 intel p67 sata 6gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motheroard
CPU-Sandy Bridge I7-2600k
GPU-SAPPHIRE 100290SR Radeon HD 5870 (Cypress XT) 2GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Eyefinity 6 Edition Video Card
Hard drive-Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 ST3500418AS 500GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive
Ram-G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL9D-8GBRL
CPU Cooler-Noctua NH-D14 120mm & 140mm SSO CPU Cooler
SSD-Crucial RealSSD C300 CTFDDAC064MAG-1G1 2.5" 64GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)
I'm not sure if this is a stupid question, but I have tried reconnecting everything to make sure all connections are good. Also, the dvd burner is connected in basically the same way as the 500gb hard drive, and that seems to be working, so I'm just not sure whats going on. Thanks in advance for any help.
