Set disk to cable select, and AUTO in the bios on the right connector. Make sure its on the right connector. Select NIC in the bios to be ON (PXE off). Remove from boot sequence, then reboot.
No, I no longer get the PXE message (sorry I guess I should've explained that). Short term I had set all other IDE devices to none. Right now I get "strike F1 to reboot, F2 for setup". F1 loops me back to the same message. F2 takes me to setup where I see the drive is detected.
Ya. I tried again, making sure the drive was on the right connector, and removing PXE from the boot options. I even tried hard disk only boot. Each time the drive is detected ( info...size...) but the computer will not boot it.
Do you still get the PXE message? How long do you leave the machine to boot? Have you disabled (i.e. set to NONE in the bios) and drives that are not there? If the bios is set to detect drives that aren't there (e.g. set to AUTO) it can take up to 2 minutes for the bios to find they aren't there and to boot.....
Firstly, try resetting the NVRAM. Secondly, what OS are you using? If you are using a FAT32 partition, connect only the HDD and set all other IDE devices to NONE, use a boot floppy and then see if you can access the disk.

Thanks for your help.
