Sata Hard Drive 2 [Not Detected]
Hey Everyone,
I have an Alienware m18x r1,intel i7 2820,16gb ram,dual nvidia 460m graphics
During Power Up, I get this message,
"Atheros pcie ethernet controller v2.0.2.6(09/28/2010)
check cable connection!
PXE-MOF:exiting intel pxe rom.
no bootable device-insert boot disk and press any key."
I also notice that both Sata Hard Drives 1 and 2 are randomly labeled [Not Detected].
Things I've Tried--
1. I switched there spots in the caddy and only the top showed while bottom remained [Not Detected]. <---Vice versa
2. I used over 5 different hard drives to make sure that my current ones weren't going bad, the same issue applied to all.
3. I Made sure that all of the cables were connected
4. I updated firmware and the bios.
5. I tried switching it from raid to the other Sata operation choices and nothing happened.
Any kind,form,idea, or sort of help would be much appreciated!

It seems to me that the slots might be the ones causing the issue. Please send me a PM and I'll take care of the issue for you.

Did you check into the BIOS to see if the HDD is detected?

Sorry for the late reply, but my problem was the interposer. Its back to normal now that I bought another one

Same here; my m11x not booting. In BIOS Advanced tab the "SATA Hard Drive status is [Not Detected]. I recently traveled with the device, so perhaps the drive is not seated properly/cable dislodged? Suggestions please.
