I bought a Gigabyte 7IXEH and i am wondering does it support ntfs format on hdd?.
I am having problems detecting the drive. The thing is i used to run the same hdd(Maxter 80 gig ata133 for ages on the old mobo before i decided to get an exact duplicate because of failure and the a7v , well it got dumped.
Basically, I had no problems for about a yr running the hdd flawlessly on the exact same mobo and model, which brings me to the question could ntfs be the problem as i am quite sure i did use the hdd on the old gigabyte on fat 32
Thanks
hmm i guess so
If your board isn't detecting the drive, that has nothing whatsoever to do with NTFS

jboy is correct. I would check that the drive is jumpered correctly (i.e master, master solo, slave, etc.). On rare occasion the IDE cable can be bad, so try a different one.
If none of this works, then the drive is faulty or worse, the IDE controller on the motherboard is bad.
Good luck.

Yes, hard drives don't care about FAT or NTFS. They will accept either format.
Sorry, I do not check for private messages

... or none at all. A drive doesn't even have to be partitioned/formatted to be detected at the hardware level

I have done all that and i am positive the mobo is fine i have done everything you guys have said, checked bios jumpers ide cable all the basic i had done this previously to posting.
I am just looking for idea's that arent so common that could effect it non ide or or mobo related, i am convinced the mobo is fine as is the bios.
I will ask this would any of this effect it

has nothing to do with the filesystem at all ext2 ext3 linux swap hpfs ntfs fat fat 32 hell you could format it with cdfs if you wanted to and it would still be detected by the bios check the jumpers make sure it is set as master and that the cable is a 80 pin type
