Hi I've tried to connect a hard drive, and it is not detecting, I tried it in another comp and it does work. Could it be that the 12.32v 12v line too high? And may even damage the drive? The computers last hard drive died, and then I realized how high the 12v line was.
 
What are you using to measure?

ATX spec = 11.4-12.6
 
Try a multimeter.

I doubt it's the psu though. Try it in a different ide / sata slot, and the jumper config too.
 
Okay this is weird, it works with a 40pin IDE cable but not an 80 pin. :confused:
This is an Nforce 2 Ultra *Asus A7N8X* motherboard. So before I went to test the same hard drive with the 80 pin cable into a much older system. Abit KT7A Raid, AMD 1400, and it detected fine. :rolleyes:
So this morning I got up, and said what the hell I'll try this old IDE cable, and it worked. I was so shocked. Maybe the newer boards are more picky.
