I tryed installing my new WD 120gb HD with my ata card, but my ata card can get detected but after many jumper setting i cant get the hd to be recognized. is there something i need to do?

Need system specs.

Is this a new system build? Is this a second hard drive? Did you install the drivers for the ATA card?

what are your bios settings?

i found out the problem... my motherboard doesnt support any hd's over 100gb.
the comp is a amd athlon xp 1800 and the new hd is my 3rd, the other 2 are a 60gb maxtor and 100gb wd.
i think i may need to update the the bios or something, not sure.

i went to the gigabyte (motherboard comp) and dl'ed the latest bios for the GA-7DX. but, when i try to run the thing it says that "the chipset is not supported." anyone know what i should do? thanks.
