Sorry if for some reason a billion posts come up, my internet is being gay. but...
Okay, so my friends computer stopped working a couple weeks ago. We thought it was the CMOS battery since his grandparents who have the same computer had the same similar problem and it was the CMOS battery. Replaced it, nope wasn't it. Later the computer said somethign about a HDD failure. No biggie since my friend wants a bigger one anyway. Ordered one. not compatiable with his motherboard. No biggie since this forces him to upgrade. So we get it, hook it up, but it is not finding the HDD, what is going wrong?
