GX260 Hard drive issue

Lee H

Hi

Got my hands on a couple of GX260's minus the hard drives for security reasons, ex company garbage basically

Popped in a spare drive to boot an XP disk, nothing....no drive is being detected by BIOS

There is nothing wrong with this drive I rechecked..reformatted....repartitioned....nothing

Is there a trickk with these dell PC's when putting in your own drive???

Pliz help

Thanks

I have one here and works just fine with any IDE harddrive I tested.

Did you check the master/slave settings? This might be a reason why the BIOS doesn't detect it.
Could also be the cable... or the box itself is faulty.

Yer jumper settings are fine, this only has 1 plug on the IDE cable so only 1 device can be attached, not tried a new ribbon, will do that now
