I've tried all posibilities switching the jumpers, and the slots in the ide cable.
Nothing worked.
How is it like that?

Have you tried A diffrent IDE port?

Is it IDE? Did you set the Master/Slave jumpers correctly? Also, did you enable auto-detect in the BIOS? If the BIOS is manually set, you'll have to tell the BIOS what's connected.

I've tried all possibilities with jumpers.
I have also tried in the bios with diferent configurations concening the first, the second and third boot devices.
no changes.
Some drives (Western Digital I think, possibly others too) have a special setting for "Single". This is different from master, where there must be a slave drive too. Check the manufacturers web site.

I've already try with the 4 jumping position. No changes

I always look on the internet how to set them.
or just look at the label on the top of the drive, it usually says how do set them.

but it is in the diagram you showed. :ermm:
some older bioses dont support that large a disk, so you have to limit the size, get the bios to detect it, renable the larger size and intall a software that runs at boot to get the full size.
