I've built my first build, and everything went cool and awesome until I tried to install Windows 7. Apparently my BIOS cant't seem to detect my hdd, on which I want to install Windows 7. The strange thing is that the BIOS detects my optical drive, but no hard drives what I've tried.

My motherboard is an Asus HM110-A, the Hdd is a Western Digital (WD) Green 2 tb.

Thanks!

First check that the sata port you are using in enabled in the bios. Most boards default to enabled however do check. Next [if that was not the problem] change the sata data cable and use a different pw connector.

You are welcome. You can mark your own thread as solved using the button at the upper left. No need for this one; I will mark it for you.
BTW you should really get a ssd drive. Once you use a system with a modern ssd, you will NEVER go back to a mech drive.
A 500gig ssd is $160 at the egg;
