Hi,
I have a HP Pavilion a530e. I installed a PCI card for internal SATA, and that works perfectly with a SATA western digital 1TB hard drive that I had purchased a couple of years ago.
I decided to give the Samsung 840 Pro a try, and I installed that on the system. I simply transferred the SATA cables from the old to the new HW disk.
When the box is booted up, I see a note about the SATA controller (just like before) but nothing else (for the old disk it displays the HDD size). So clearly the BIOS doesn't seem to recognize the new disk.
I have been looking around the web for some answers but haven't found a clear next step. I am hoping to get suggestions from folks on this forum.
Thanks!
SN.
