MSI ms-6533eg

[vortex]

board will not detect harddrives. It will only accept certain ones. I tried 2 used 40-and 60 gig. Maxtor, barracuda and a 120gig maxtor. It would find none. The bios is set on auto detect. It was able to find a drive that a friend had with windows xp. dont understand what could be happening. anyone heard of this prob. I appreciate anyones help or advise.

Cable settings, ( ya know jumpers as in master, slave and cable select etc.) is the one thing i can think of, or prehaps dodgy cables.
