Hi,
Enter CMOS setup (usually you need to press Del key while booting) and perform IDE HDD Autodetection. Select option with LBA when prompted. Then Save & Exit.
Good luck, Igor M

Hi, My other computer is not recognizing hard drive C.Have done Auto Detect & says Hard drive not detected.Don't know for sure how to setup cyln,head, etc settings either. Bought this computer from a friend of mine who was using it & one day her brother accidentally just hit shutoff button without going out properly & when she turned it back on, it said Hard drive not recognized.Do you know what the problem could be? Thanks,Carla
