I probably have one thread on this topic kicking around somewhere from 8 months ago, but oh well.

Here's the problem. I'm putting together my brothers computer, and i have everything in the case with all the plugs/connectors in the right places (I triple checked

). when I boot up, the system does not detect the primary master (hdd). When I go into the setup I set the drives to auto detect, and all three show up. the floppy, the CD-rom, and the hdd. I set everything else up in the bios and restart the computer. When the system does the hardware check, the primary master drive shows up as blank again. Is it the hard drive (western digital caviar drive) that is bad, or the MoBo (Asus A7N266-VM)?
