I have re-installed mother board drivers, but still the same problem. Anybody have any idea?

Will try and check. But, I feel it might not be the problem. Do anybody else have any idea?

Hi all, I have changed my motherboard from Intel D945 GCNL to Gigabyte GA-G31-ES2L and now my Sony DVD drive is not showing in windows. I can see it is being detected while POST and in the BIOS setup. But, once logged into windows no drive is being shown. What could be the problem?

Thank you Techalomanic. I will check other details.

Thank you Techalomaniac. Should I look for any other factors? For eg, This mother board's description contains that it supports DDR2 at 1066 speed. But, i have DDR2 RAM with speed of 667. Would I be able to use this RAM if I buy above M/B? And also would this M/B supports Pentium Dual...

Hi, Need to take a new mother board to replace an Intel D945 GCNL. Need to select mother board such that it can work with existing components. Can you please suggest some mother boards and what factors to be looked into? and also should I go for Intel or Gigabyte or any other brand(in terms...

@desiibond yes.. seagate is number one brand once.. it seems it have some problems with SATA hard disks.. so many complaints (including one from me, replaced 5 times still not working :) )

means it is developing bad sectors.... When I tested with Seatools, it is passing the test some times and failing some times. :(

But I have checked hdd on another system... there also it was failed :( ... so I guess no problem with my mobo ..... but not able to resolve the problem.

I have replaced my Seagate SATA 250GB 5times now ... still not working .... :(

yea.. sea tools should run fine... I tried in another computer, it failed there too after 4 days. Anyway, I will try with one more computer

Can that be problem with jumper setting?

I dont think it is problem with PINS ...since I have tried with all pins in the SMPS

Can there be any problem with SMPS? It was Mercury AP-2400 of 400W. As I said all other components are working properly including 80 GB IDE Samsung drive. Or can this be an issue with jumper setting. My hard disk can work at 3.0 Gb/s speed but as jumper set now to work at the speed of 1.5...

Yes.. this might be one reason. First hard disk worked for 20 days when I am in Hyderabad. After that I have moved to Koper Khairane (Navi Mumbai). Then it failed after 10 days. But as other PATA hard disk is working properly in the same condition, I feel this reason may be not right.

I have tried with new SATA data cable on different port. Didn't check with new power cable since I have checked on another computer and it failed there also. Anyway I will try with another power cable and check.

May be it is the reason (hopefully). But, this is 4th time hard disk is failing (I have replaced 3 times). Can't think of reputed company like Seagate giving me 3 spoilt hard disks in succession :(( . Are there any more possibilties?

Please advise me ... what might be the problem :(

But, my PATA hard drive is working fine and SATA hard drive failed on another machine also. Again can it be SMPS problem?

I have bought a new system 3 months back with Intel 945GCNL mother board and Seagate 250 GB SATA hard disk. After 10-15 days, hard disk developed bad sectors and one day it failed to boot. So I checked hard disk with Seatools software as suggested by seagate support personal. Hard disk...
