Hello, I bought it some months ago.Just use the SATA cable and the power cable connected to your mother board and that's it.

Yes you have the hard drive from SATA to compatibly mode and and change UEFI to ACHI mode. Change nothing else or you will run into a mile of problems like I did then it will take you about 2 days to get everything right again.

This post card most likely will not help you, try looking in Event viewer before you buy dedicated hardware to diagnose a Bios problem.

there is no firmware! It is plug and play. If your BIOS does not see it then your mother board is shot or to old. Go to Seagate.com they have software that will allow firmware checking.

I'm having the same problem. Windows7 doesn't recognize it. Can't find drivers for the drive or the case ANYWHERE.

Have the CD in and when it takes you to the bios just exit and it should read the CD after that.

I've never had that happen to me I think.... I'm sorry I'm not much help all I could suggest is doing a recovery but if it's like in a mode similar to safe mode there must be away to switch out... Maybe on start up try f12 see all the boot options.

Possibility, with bios update, however, this motherboard went dead on me after only two days

Thank you SOOO much for your long post. I appreciate it. It turns out that I didn't have the camera listed under "my computer" for whatever reason but then searched the web and found another expert soul and was able to do "something" to my bios that fixed the problem immediately! You can tell I'm not too techy........!!

I would recommend to update your bios, I just did that and now my Memory chip worked, GREAT! feels like a brand new Laptop!

As Andy N. said: Your best bet is to contact Gigabyte support and they will issue an RMA (return merchandise authorization) they will repair it, or get you a new one.

You may not need to. Do you have ahci enabled in Bios? All I did was make sure ahci was enabled upon the first bootup and it recognized all 3 of my hdds. I also chose to reinstall windows after from scratch that way there were no drivers for my old motherboard to be deleted. It was easier to install windows after reformatting the system drive then it would have been to remove everything for the old motherboard.

If it doesn't recognize it I would return it for a different one. It is probably the programing. Or try dumping ur system cache. But save all ur data to a memory stick first.
