What size drive are you trying to use??? Also kind of a dumb question but whats the model number printed on the board surface "P2B-?"

There are vseveral versions of the Asus P2B board. Not totally sure as to what the differences between them is as far as the hard drive capacity....

I have a plain old P2B and have had a 20GB drive on it no problem what so ever....

Just done the above and HD is now shown

Was trying to install WD400 Hard Drive.

Now for the rest of the system.
