2.Does the computer recognize the drive? Verify that the drive is enabled in the system CMOS or setup program. If not, select the auto detect option and enable it. If your drive has a problem, it may not be recognized by the system. If the operating system does not recognize the drive, you need to load your host adapter drivers.
