Hello,Please check the BIOS to see if the SATA ports are enabled. Older boards will disable the sata ports in the BIOS by default. To enter the BIOS, hit the DEl key as soon as you boot the PC.
If ports are enabled, then you probably have to format the drive.Heres how:1. Right-click My Computer and select Manage.
2. Under Storage, click Disk Management on the left pane.
STEP 3 - Format the device / drive / MP3 player
1. Right-click on the 1 TB drive you want to format then select Format.Windows will not recognize the drives file system and will mount it with a drive letter. ex; E:

One bad lead will cause your computer to shut down or continue in a cycle
replace all the leads that attach to your hard drive including electrical extensions + IDE,SATA the ones that attach from your motherboard to your hard drive

Hi

Thank you for your query

From what you are describing you are missing the SATA controller

Please do the following

1) Go to www.devicedoctor.com and download and install application
2) Once installed load up and click on begin scan
3) Once it has scanned it will probably pick up missing SATA controller and give you the option to download
4) Download the SATA controller and install
5) Reboot PC and the SATA drive should be recognised

I have the exact motherboard in a everyday desktop. I ran into this issue myself. The video card was bad. It didnt give me any error beeps either. So, I popped a used AGP nvidia geforce 5200 in the slot and bam, it was back up.

However, make sure your hard drives are spinning. If they are not, there might be another issue at hand...

Hope that helps and let me know what you find

first of all you should know that even though pentium 4 isn't that old there are still some problems, for example the d processor uses sd-ram or ddr1 ram which are much slower that ddr2 and ddr3 "ddr1 isn't that slow" but if u're using SD-ram then u might wanna upgrade your rams a bit.

Hi, A couple of things to check/try: 1. Make sure your video card (if using one) and the memories are properly seated to their slots. Do an R & R (remove, reinstall). It might also be a good idea to clean the little gold edge connectors; 2. Reset your CMOS/BIOS by using the onboard jumper near the battery. Restore to original position after reset; 3. Double check your master/slave jumper on both the HD and CD; Hope this be of some idea/help. Post back how things turn up or should you need further information. Good luck and kind regards.
