Title:

Hard Drive not detected!

Text:

I currently have an 80 GB sata hard drive and I bought an Hitachi 320 Gb sata drive to upgrade it with, but the laptop doesn't detect the drive, not even in the bios!  It's brand new, and if I connect it using a USB adaptor, the drive shows up on my computer.  The Bios has been updated to the current version.  I'm at a loss, please help!

Thanks!
