Basic Troubleshooting Tips after Installing a New Hard Drive
Based on Seagate IDE hard drives.

If you have installed your drive and it does not function properly, perform the following basic checks:

Warning: Always turn off the computer before changing jumpers or unplugging cables and cards. Wear a ground strap or use other antistatic precautions while working on your computer or handling your drive.



  • Verify compatibility. Verify that the host adapter and drive are appropriately matched to each other and to your computer. Refer to the relevant documentation for details.
  • Check all cards. Verify that all cards are seated in their slots on the motherboard and secured with mounting screws.

  1. I like the tip of checking all the cards. That way you can make sure everything is there. It seems like it would be best to get an expert for installing your hardware. http://www.techsnow.com/it-services/national-rollouts/
