all drives show as 'not enabled' in bios

[phantom999]

Hi, Updating tower PC cause mobo fried.

Using old IDE drives, old case. New Motherboard=MSI K9A2. new processor AMD 5600 64x2, new power 400w, new graph card ATI Radeon 2600PRO.

Now at barebone stage = mobo, 1 r/w drive not connected, 2 r/w drives connected (IDE to SATA slot with converter cable), 2 IDE HD (ribbon IDE to IDE slot). Powers on to BIOS.

PROBLEM: all r/w and HD devices show in BIOS 'not detected'.
QUESTION: Is it my motherboard, by bios settings, my power supply leads, or ...

phantom,

Have seen a similar thing. What happens connecting 1 IDE HDD to 1 IDE slot (appropriate jumper settings config'd)?

Look into the BIOS for SATA setting, if not using RAID then set to "standard IDE" or "SATA as IDE"

(IDE to SATA slot with converter cable)

First I'd get rid of THAT, then try what 1toomany said above.
