    open your computer and see if the power/ide cables are connected.. see if either drives show up in your bios.. try changing ide/power cables.. restart computer.. etc..

    Try switching to another power lead, switching the ide cable as well. If neither of those work then the drive is kapoot!! Hope you have the reciept...

    I have installed another 105 on the same cable and chanel and it works!Thus bringing me to the conclusion it is the drive.
