Just got a new WD hard drive 160GB. Every time I plug in the new hard drive, the BIOS can't detect any hard drive at all, changed Jumpster around , ..still not recognize anything. Everything work wondefully with the new hard drive removed. What has happened ? Is my new hard drive failed already ?

You're going to need an add-on EIDE controller.

There is a later BIOS (1.10) but not new enough to help, I think.

We already have the 1.10 patched for 128GB HDD

At least the HDD should be detected now with 128GB

Tekram has a newer 1.11 Beta but with HDD support only up to 64GB
