The ECS PM800-M2 only supports SATA 1.0 hard drives. If you are using a newer SATA 3.0 hard drive, there is a jumper on the hard drive which has to be set to SATA 1.0 in order for the VIA 8237R chipset southbridge (which Is on your ECS PM800-M2) to recognize the newer SATA 3.0 hard drives. This Is applicable to all motherboards with the Viatech PM800 / 8237R chipsets. Note: the location for the SATA 1.0 / 3.0 jumper varies on each brand of hard drives. Also check If SATA Is enabled In the BIOS and select IDE mode.
There are 2 different types of SATA, Sata1 and Sata2. The PM-800 M2 does not support Sata2, so in order to connect a Sata Drive, you have to install a jumper on the Hard Drive jumper pins. Check you HD data for the proper setting.
Plz chek your data cable of sata hdd. and then open bios setup and go advance option and check ther hdd is ditect or not if not then your data cable fail.otherwise call me 9887863101
