    Motherboard won't recognize hard drive?

    My friend hasn't had time until now and says he doesn't know what the adminstrative password is so the os can recognize the hard drive. Would anyone know what it might be or what else he can do?

    Motherboard won't recognize hard drive?

    My friend has a ASUSTeK Computer INC. A7N8X REV 1.xx and installed his hard drive which I believe he said is a 160 Gig, but the computer won't boot up with it, it just keeps restarting. Does anyone know why? or what he can do so he can use his hard drive, since most of his stuff is on it!
