Re: Gateway GM5066E help

I am adding another Hitachi HDT722525DLA380 that I want to Ghost to this
drive since the origional is flaky.

I looked in BIOS and it is set to automaticly look for the drives but
doesn't show anything for this drive.

Not enough information. Your computer uses SATA drives what kind of
drive are you trying to use?


any suggestions. ( I tried the add hardware in Windows too)


That doesn't apply to hard drives. You have to look at the CMOS
