Help needed badly regarding BIOSTAR K8NHA Pro mobo.
Hi,
Ok this is my 1st try @ building my own PC. I bought a Bare bone system (PC Case & Mobo) the Mobo is a BIOSTAR K8NHA PRO.
I plugged in everything (Cables, connectors) installed NEC DVD/CD burner, memory, all seems fine.
I tried installing a Seagate barracuda 120 GB SATA HD. but my system won't recognize it, so I can't install WIN XP.
BIOSTAR only offers Email tech support, which really sucks, so I wrote them & am awaiting a response. I called Seagate tech support #, the tech rep suggestion was that the mobo only supports SATA HD's in a RAID configuration & I can only setup up IDE HD's as single storage, which to me doesn't make sense.
I read an article on this site which reviewed 2 BIOSTAR mobo's, including the one i have the K8NHA pro. It was posted on Nov 23, 2003 by Tarinder.
Can anyone here help me out with my dilemma? Is the advice the Seagate tech gave me correct or is the solution to my problem simply to upgrade my BIOS or is it neither one & something else?
Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
