If the bios cannot see it, presumably you are using autodetect.
Try visiting HD manu and getting actual parameters of drive, then try to set
it up manually in the bios.
If that doesnt work then I dont believe there is anything you can do.
If installed to the origonal sys, canit be detected?
If so use the HD manu checking utility, downloaded from their site, to check
it.
If all OK then format the disk in Disk Management, not from any command
line.
whitch way. I took it over to my brother, he runs 2K, he had no problem.
We formated it w/ fs:fat32. I think his older asus and bios formated with
wrong peramiters. I run XP pro.
