[QUOTE="Rozesky2, post: 320366, member: 28937"] Donetao I am as confused as you. I got up and reset the bios to the default settings. Tried the new hd and again it wont recognize it. Then I put in the old 160 g hd and it shows up in the bios. It is so odd. Also, When I put the hds in my desktop as a secondary drive to bring it up it again doesnt even see it in the ok both new hds I have tried are sata III I now know why the new drive would not recognize in the desktop....because it was not formatted. I am in the process of formatting it now. Then I will see if the laptop will see it in the bios and I can install win 7. [USER=2291]@BoraMurdar[/USER]- I do have the connections right...because if I put in the older hd with win xp on it it recognizes it I know that the newer bios just recognize a hd and I should be able to use my win 7 installation disc to install win 7 but since that wont work I will try this...DO you think because it is sata 3 that is why it will not see it in the bios?
