I've had a similar problem. Instead of the BIOS not recognizing the
SanDisk, the system just won't boot with the HDD as primary master and
SanDisk as slave. I suspect this comes from the lack of a jumper on my HDD
to specify that the drive is in fact the master. I know that it's supposed
to default to master if there is no jumper present, but the way it's not
booting (it posts, but failes to find any drives, and the auto detect IDE
devices in BIOS also fails to find anything) is the same behaviour as if
there were two devices set to master or slave.
Anyone know where I can get a jumper of the right size? I've contemplated
just soldering a connection, but haven't worked up the guts to make that
kind of mod just yet.
