okay, before anyone goes yelling at me (get a new comp) or (you dont need to reformat that comp just throw it out the wndow) or (holy old comp) realize, that if I had money, I would get a new one.

Now, I was going to install Windows 7 on my computer. Specs are up near my name. I have a primary 320gb PATA drive installed that works fine, however, I also have a 500gb SATA I hooked up from an old usb external hard drive i tore apart. I got it all set up and stuff, but to no avail, no sata was detected. Anywhere.

I thought, oh, I'll go update my bios.

Yet, again, no avail. It definitely detected a RAID controller, but that's it. It did not detect the actual drive itself.

help pl0x

Did the BIOS detect the drive?

Is the drive being detected in the bios?

If not, I'd recommend putting it back into it's enclosure and seeing if it still works. It may be dead.
