Strange PC Problem
I got a M2NPV-MX {asus} mobo here with a amd 64 bit processor.
It's got 2gig ram installed and has both IDE and SATA connectors.
Mobo: Works, upgraded BIOS to latest Version
CPU: Works. correct fan + heat sink
RAM: All OK
But still it doesn't detect any of my IDE Harddisks...
I can attach a DVDROM which works fine,
checked the jumpers, switched to cable select etc.. all settings are ok,
but it still halts for a LONG time after checking the RAM
(also disabled sata in the bios)
- anyone has an idea?

I had this happen to me a long time ago, if I remember correctly, something I thought was correct actually wasn't.
Double check your jumpers and the position on the cable. I'm betting the diagram on the HD shows a mirror image of the jumpers, so you may think they are correct but they are backwards.

- 1x Maxtor 120GB
- 1x Seagate 250GB
BIOS:
Disabled SATA [is autom enabled when sata inserver]
Power settings: Correct
SATA spectrum: Disabled
IDE1 & 2: Autodetect
HDD:
Tried cable select, attached only one HDD, ide 2 etc..
As soon as I attach an HDD it hangs for a long time after the ram check and before the ide/sata check.
I just called the store and I'm going to return it.
They also gave me a Power supply with NO sata connectors, so I had to take another one "out of my stack".
Djeezes,
This is the first time I don't check my hardware before collecting it and they try to +$£" me over.
