I moved my computer from an old case to a new one but when I turned on it the Bios dosen't recognize the Hard Drive, I don't understan why, because before move it, everything worked perfect, The Type of Hard Drive is SATA, I tried with a IDE Hardrive but still no working even when de IDE hard Dirve works perfect in other computer that I have. If some body knows what to do, let me know thank you
