	Two things to check for: 

1. Make sure the jumper settings for your hard drive(s) is correct. 
   Some hard drives have different jumper settings for single drive vs
Master 
   drive.

2. Press f10 to enter the CMOS setup, and make sure the settings are 
   consistent with the hardware on your system.
