Hi, Yesterday I got the stuff (from Newegg) to build my computer.
So I built it (I havent built before so it took 3 hours).
Specs:

AMD Duron 1.4 GHz,266 FSB
128 MB Kingston PC 2100
Asus Mobo
WD 40 GB HDD
Cheap case (Aspire or something like that)
Lite-on CD-ROM

So, I let it burn in over night so when I got home today I decided to go and check out it's BIOS. So I went thru it...(38 celsius processor) So I go to the IDE assignment things and when I selected the primary slave (where my HDD is supposed to be)
and selected identify or something like that, it did'nt detect my HDD. It did'nt detect my Liteon but I know thats working cuz I can open its door and it turns on when I turn on the system.

So is this something I should worry about? I don't want to buy (or borrow) WinXP and then not having it work..
