160gb SATA not detected while 80gb SATA is working fine

I have a MSI K8MM-V board with AMD 2800+, I am alredy using a 80gb SATA1 drive, I recently purchased a 160gb SATA1 (seagate) however, to my surprise the disk is not being detected in the BIOS and even when I suply the drivers during windows xp installation, the system is not able to detect any hard disk attached, can somebody please suggest me what to do now, is my board in-compatible with disks with such high capacity
system spec:
AMD 2800+
VIA K8MM-V
512 RAM
80gb SATA(working)
160gb SATA(not detected)

Surv1v0r don't be so hasty next time to RMA. Many times it is something simple like this that gets the job done.
Fair comment - sorry, you guys were right and I was wrong - no excuses.

I have read on WD website and on the website where I bought my WD HD and they had lots of people return the HD's just because they didn't know about the jumpers.
You do wonder whethere WD (and others) will learn anything from this.  RMAs can't help anyone, perhaps a little guidance on the casing or an installation sheet would help to resolve some of these ?
Once again - sorry

  • MacBook Spillage - Battery Not Detected! - Every Thing Else Works Fine!

    _*Okay I Don't Know If This Actually Qualifies To Be Under This Category, But It Must Have Something To Do With The Battery. Here's What Happened_.*
    I Accidently Spilt Some Orange Juice On My Macbook On The Keyboard And In The Hole Between The Screen And The Keyboard Area. I Went In A Big Panic And Started Mopping Up The Spillage, Taking Every Key Off The Keyboard And Drying It, I Even Ended Up Taking The Top Bit Of The Computer Off To Dry It.
    After That Struggle And Drying Up Every Bit Of The Liquid I Tried Switching On The Computer After Numerously Pressing The On Button It Managed To Boot Up And Even Into The Login Screen. I Tried Logging In But I Got That Random Error Telling Me To Restart My Computer So I Did, Once Again I Pressed It Numerous Times, And Then It Started Making An Alarm Like Noise, Eventually I Managed To Get It On And Logged In. But For Some Strange Reason My Airport Card Was Not Detected, (At This Point I Should Say It Was Plugged Into The AC Adaptor), And The Battery Had A Cross Over It, Oh And According To IStat Menus My Computer Was Running At -128 Degrees C, Very Unusual!
    Now When I Spilt The Drink My Computer Was Updating, As I Had Recently Reinstalled Mac OS X Leopard 10.5, So I Tried Updating And My Computer Shut Down, This Happened A Lot Of Times And Even Shut Down During The Hard Ware Test, But I Never Managed To Get The Apple Logo Telling Me My Mac Was Booting Into OSX. So I Shut It Down And Left It For About 2 And A Half Hours Until Trying To Switch It On Again, It Worked (Well Maybe I Should Say Works) Perfectly Fine And Is What I Am Talking Off Now, As This Tragedy, Only Happened, What 3 And A Half Hours Ago. The Airport Works, My Computer Is Not Running A -128 Degrees C, Except My Battery Is Not Recognised There Is A Cross Over It, Now I Would Test Another Battery But The Only Other Person Who Has A Macbook In My House, Is Asleep As Is Is 4.00 am, In The United Kingdom!
    I Don't Know Why Only My Battery Is Not Working As The Juice Went Inside My Computer And You'd Expect The CPU Or Something Else To Not Work, It's Quite Strange!
    *_If Anyone Could Give Me Some Advice Or Help With This Problem It Would Be Highly Appreciated!_*
    *_Thanks In Advance!_*

    Same thing happened to me,
    I spilled orange juice on my Mac and after drying I tried to restart it,
    it did, and then it would shut down and get error messages. I took it to the apple repair center and they said the motherboard was damaged. They actually recommended I just buy a new one, since replacing the motherboard would cost about the same. The battery doesnt charge, I have to use it with the ac adapter, and a few weeks ago, the hard drive crashed. I had to go and replace that. Then, the battery on my mac started to swell and when I took it in they said the battery had been recalled, so they replaced it. I just got it yesterday, dont need it since it wont charge, however this morning my mac started to shut down automatically, it did it over and over again until I took out the battery. Strange........... So far it hasnt shut down,
    Thats my luck with my Mac,
    Hope this helps

  • Unable to sync my movies in the i tunes 11 library i try to add the mp4 video by using the add to library option but the movie does not sync while the music is syncing fine...

    i am unable to sync my movies in the i tunes 11 library i try to add the mp4 video by using the add to library option but the movie does not sync while the music is syncing fine...

    I had the same issue. What I did was save the movies on a thrid-party app like Download Manager Lite. Once downloaded, go back to itunes, go to your iDevice, go to apps and transfer the app, then scroll down and click on the app and from there you can send the movies to that app and WILL play. Can only hold up to 8 videos/movies (this is for iPod Touch 3G or better, iPhone 3s or better, iPad requires iOS 4.3 or better)
    YES THIS APP SUPPORTS .mp4
    From other ipod (nano, classic): I don't remember.
    If your just putting them on iTunes, it should show and play on iTunes no problem.

  • TS1702 After I have upgraded to the new iOS 6.1.2, the email software doesn't work and is not downloading.  While before it was working fine.

    After I have upgraded to the new iOS 6.1.2, the email software doesn't work and is not downloading.  While before it was working fine.
    How to fix this?

    There seems to be massive amounts of problems with every aspect of iOS 6. From what I understand all you can do is try and reset your device and pray that Apple bequeaths working software next time or allows users to revert to iOS 5 while they search for someone who knows what they are doing. Perhaps you will need to use an alternate email app until then? (Although, Gmail seems to be the only one that works properly)

  • Ipod 4th gen volume buttons not working. Volume bar not showing in music or video apps, not a speaker problem as this works fine when testing built in alarm tones???

    Ipod 4th gen volume buttons not working. Volume bar not showing in music or video apps, not a speaker problem as this works fine when testing built in alarm tones???

    Have you tried the standard fixes:
    - Reset:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore the iPod from backup via iTunes
    - Restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod.
    If still problem you likely have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    You're using Exchange Active Sync to synchronize contacts and calendars with your company Exchange Server. If the default calendar/address books are set to the Exchange account, it will sync automatically. This is normal.
    Go to Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars to change the default address book and calendars to a something else, iCloud or something synced from your home computer instead.

    My iphone 4 speakers stopped giving me sounds when i play audio or video even while gaming. It works fine when ringing tunes of for voice mails, even works fine with headsets. What is wrong with it?

    well i'd seriosly say point a hot hair drier at the speakers as water has entered the phone most commonly via the home button but avoid getting it too hot let it cool every 3 minutes after constant drying. Don't worry I have honestly dont this with my iPhone 4 GSM 16GB. For future reference avoid letting it get wet.
