So I'm installing a 500gb Seagate harddrive, to replace my 120gb Western Digital drive in my HP dv6700. I had successfully installed a 500 gig Western Digital drive before, but I screwed up the drive somehow, and now it just wont work. So, hence the Seagate drive.
I put the drive in, loaded in a Windows XP cd (just a temp before I load W7), and waited. Once I pressed enter to install the OS, it told me that no harddrive was detected. Is this something in the bios that wont detect anything other than WD drives?
