might be not sending power to the drives' power connections. The fan comes
onbut even after it has been running for a while it blows out cool air like
it is not getting hot inside there. What do you folks think about this
situation? Oh yes, I tried to solve the problem through the bios to no
avail.GTCox It is, but that usually results in failure to power up. Failure
to recognize drives is likely caused by: a) Drive failure (including
interface damage) b) Dodgy cables... c) Motherboard damage to IDE/SATA
interfaces. But I changed the cables and put in a new motherboard..Do drives
all fail at the same time?

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
