    Hi there,
    I have the following problem:
    I have just installed a Seagate ST9120822A HDD into my PB laptop. The problem i am having is that in BIOS the pri IDE is Disabled. Is there a way to get it enabled again so that it can see the HDD. I have downloaded SeaTools and this can see the drive and it has passed both short and long tests.
    Before installing the HDD, all was working well.
    The laptop is a EasyNote E6100.

    I hope someone can shed some light on this for me.
    Cheers
