I'm working on a very old unit, I want to install a new hard drive, a Hitachi Desktar 60gb, 7200rpm the motherboard is an Iwill BS100. I know its an old unit but I'm not sure if that makes the motherboard not to detect the new drive. I check the bios and I already change the settings but it still won't detect it. I tested the Hard Drive on another two units and it works fine. Am I doing something wrong? or should I just forget about this old unit? Any help and suggestions will be appreciate it. Thanks.

Did you set the master/slave jumper on the back of the drive to master? Does it share the IDE cable with another device? If so, is the other device's jumper set to slave?

I guess it's possible that the bios might have a 32gb drive size limit. If that's the case there are 4 options. 1. Download an overlay program from Hitachi. 2. Upgrade the Bios. 3. Some hard drives have a plug that limits the drive size to 32gb. 4. Manually set the size in the bios to 32gb.
