You are having problems with a SATA drive
■ For normal SATA drives (not SATA RAID), check the BIOS setup utility to see
if the BIOS has recognized the drive.
■ Make sure that the power cable and SATA cables are attached securely to
the drive cage.
■ If the drive is not detected, try a different SATA port.
■ Try swapping SATA cables between drives to determine if the cable is
defective.
■ Try listening to the drive to determine if the drive is spinning up. If not,
the drive may be defective.

■ In a Windows network operating system, repair the master boot record
using FDISK.
To repair the master boot record:

keyboard. Clean the keyboard and turn it upside down to drain it. Let the
keyboard dry before using it again. If the keyboard does not work after it
