Hello,

Ive just helped a mate upgrade his old pc with a new mobo.
The mobo is a Gigabyte GA-8VM800PMD-775. It boots up but will not detect any of the 2 ata hdd's that are connected to it.
It does detect the optical drives though.

Ive tried swapping the ide cable and also swapping over to the ide channel the optical drives were on.
I also unplugged everything but one drive in case it was lack of power but still no luck. Besides that the manual suggests a 300watt supply and this is a 350 anyway.

Any suggestions as to what the problem could be would be most welcome.
