GIGABYTE GA-MA790GPT-UD3H New hard drive

[ctmtnbkr]

I know this is probably so simple...but any help would be appreciated.

I just added a new hard drive to my GIGABYTE GA-MA790GPT-UD3H

It wont recognize any drive on SATA ports 3-6. What am I doing wrong?

Setup is two IDE channels for DVD

OS drive is SATA 1, New Drive on SATA2. If I plug either the old drive or the new drive into 3-6 it isnt recognized in BIOS or the OS.

I dont plan on running RAID, but would like to add more drives to the system.

Can anyone help?

Thanks

Could you give system specs? How many hdd are in you system.

Firstly have you tried a new data lead to rule that out? Secondly what are the SATA ports 3-6 set to in the BIOS? It's possible that it's a fault on the motherboard but it's far more likely to be just a setting or BIOS problem. Can yopu give us a detailed list of your hardware and any changes you have made to the settings/BIOS?

Yes Dark mantis is completely correct. Also is there a bios update for your motherboard. Just curious. Because i had a similar issue with my seagate but my turned out to be bad, with a bad controller board on the drive.
