Need some help

Post by Pojo_ »

Just got a hard drive that uses SATA cords instead of IED. Its all connected but my hard drive isnt showing up on my device manager or my computer.

I went into the SATA Raid Controller and it says the device cannot start (code 10).

When I try to update the drivers it says "The hardware was not installed because the wizard cannot find the necessary software."

Any ideas of how to fix?

I'm just responding because I didn't want you to feel ignored. Too bad I don't know anything about computers.

yeah... you might want to check and see if the hard drive shows up in your bios first. You can usually view that by hitting f2 or del while your computer is booting up.

Are you trying to set up the drive in a raid? I would think not as you typically use multiple drive of the same configuration for that, and it sounds like you just bought 1 new SATA drive.

I would check the power and data cables on the SATA drive aren't loose.

if your motherboard's intel then you can find the driver for it on the intel site if you know your chipset, just go there and look for the driver set, it should include the SATA driver.
