Computer does not recognize my Seagate external HDD (non-usb)
Now I know that there are a gazillion threads similar to this out there, but I've gone through them and have yet to find a solution.
following this link you can see my computer here
It is a
Medion Akoya X7378
Intel I7-2600 3,4ghz
Windows 7 64GB
6GB DDR
Now my problem is this. I have attached to it a (Lacie) Seagate 250GB that came with the Porsche Design that I wish to plug into one of the slots at the front.
Now I remember when I first bought the com, it worked, but after updating the necessary patches (bios/motherboard/usb/etc.) and all, it stopped working. It has been two years already, but I have yet to figure out how to solve this.
It is not recognized in Windows nor in the Bios and I have set the bios settings to optimized default. I don't really see the drive recognition settings on, but nothing is disabled either.
The drive works fine on USB. I have tested the thing out on other comps, it works, so that couldn't be the problem.
As I am not exactly specialized in this, I'm pretty clueless as to what I could do/check. There are two drives there and it works for neither. It can't be that both drives have a faulty cable, right? I've never touched the inside...
I hope that you guys could help me with this. Let me know if you need any more information. I'd be glad to provide it.
Thanks.
