Ever since my hdd had a virus that i can't get rid of (although people have helped me out online and thx to those people but none of your ideas worked), i remembered that I had a previous HDD, a SATA one. Anyways i took it out because for some reason my bios stopped reading SATA HDD's. In other words it used to work but stopped for some reason. If i plug in the SATA HDD then the computer takes forever to turn on. So I put it aside incase of my IDE HDD would get a virus and screw up. So i figure i can get the bios to read the SATA HDD if i flash (i think thats the term). Anyways i need to basically reformat or reboot the bios. so ya thats my story and what i need.

I think this is the comp spec i need to give:
AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3000+

So what do i do?

You probably either need to enable the sata drive in the bios (somewhere in system>drives) or you need to install the motherboard drivers.

Just have a root around in the bios settings first. That bios supports sata drives.

well i know it supports SATA because the SATA HDD used to work on it. Anyways i took out a jumper pin thing that was on the HDD to reset the bios. And ya it reseted (now in the bios it gives the option to put a SATA HDD in which stopped before when the comp stopped reading the SATA HDD in the past) but the SATA HDD still isn't being read properly. Can u tell me how to fix it?

Sonnds like the drive itself if faulty, or isn't configured properly.

Can you run scandisk on it?
