[quote name='Moxio']I know this is kind of a corny suggestion, but did you check your Device Manager? Does it even see the drives in there at all?[/QUOTE]Yeah, I forgot to mention that. They weren't there.
[quote name='m6oo']First, see what you can figure out without getting the OS involved.
Are the drives recognized by the BIOS? You can check this by entering SETUP and doing an AUTO DETECT test for the drive.
If the drive(s) can't be detected by the BIOS, then you still may have a connection problem (bad cable?). Or maybe try to put your old video card back (or use on board video if you've got it) just to see if that changes things with the BIOS. Try a known good drive+cable from another machine and see if you can get the BIOS to recognize those.
If the BIOS does recognize the drive, try booting windows in Safe Mode. If you can see the drives in safe mode, but not on a normal boot, then you've got some kind of windows configuration problem, but I discount that, since you get the same problem in Ubuntu.
Those are some suggestions. Tell us what you tried and what the results were.[/QUOTE]I couldn't find the disk drives in the BIOS last time I checked; I could only find the HDDs. I'll try looking again though.
I'll have access to a known working drive and the time to try that out (as well as trying my old graphics card) in about a week (after finals).
[quote name='Mr. Anderson']I'm having this same problem with XP right now (after installing my video card), and I found this:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;314060[/QUOTE]Did that work for you?
I just tried it, but I'm not super confident in it because the problem also appears in Ubuntu. I'll report back on this whenever I restart my computer (which I hate doing
).
