XP Pro - unable to detect the hard drive during the upgrade

Hello

I was trying to add a second IDE hard drive to my PC, after the installation of the system tells me not hard are detected. Press FI to try again. F2 to set up. I did both, but the drive still not detected and the system could not start.

I try to install back my original drive (a drive), but the problem persists.

Can I know how to fix this?

It can because of the IDE Hard Drive cable?

Thank you

It is not at all what you did (for example, why do you of the re - install your original disc).  However, if what you were doing was to connect the new drive to the middle connector on the cable and then disconnect it, maybe all what you did was disconnect the cable at the end of the motherboard.

Yes, your problem may be a faulty IDE cable... but that seems unlikely given that it worked before... unless you damaged the cable while you were trying to connect the second drive.

Look carefully at the end of the motherboard of the cable and make sure it is properly connected, do not offset by a PIN or two and - if you had unplugged, that you do not bend the pins when you reconnect it.
