Thanks for all the responses but I figured it out, with the help of everyone here. I had the IDE cable to the CDRW inserted the wrong way. Can't believe that would cause the CDRW and HDD to not receive power.
I tried using different plugs and still no luck. Will try to open it with the paper clip and see what happens, but that will have to wait until tomorrow since it's getting late and I need to go to work.
Hello everybody! Just finished building a basic, inexpensive PC for a friend and when I powered it on the case fan, CPU fan and the power LED came on. Thinking everything was going OK I push the CDRW button to open the tray. I did not open and by the sounds of it the HDD isn't spinning either...
I can't wait for this to come to Cali, I have comcast right now for $42.95/mo. but for only $40/mo. I can get faster speeds up and down. Let's just hope it's not a teaser rate for a year or so and then jack the prices up.
Nice deal OP I need a MP3 and have been waiting for this one to fall in price. I have no need to for a 4GB MD for my camera, but I'll try to use it in my PDA.
Thanks everyone for your help on this HDD question from noob like me. Just one thing though, would it be better if I just connected this new HDD on it's own IDE channel?? Would it access data faster as a master drive?
My system set-up:
Abit IT7 mobo with 6 IDE channels
WinXP Pro
512 mb ddr ram
IDE 1 master - Lite On DVD ROM
IDE 1 slave - Lite On 32x CDRW
IDE 2 master - NEC 100 DVD + R
IDE 3 master - Maxtor 40GB HDD
IDE 3 slave - WD 120GB HDD
When I click on my computer the drive does not show up at all...
This really sucks! I was trying to save my money for BF but all these deals keep popping up on items that I need. Nice post OP looks like I'm getting a new UPS later today.
