HDD not recognised by my packard bell S3210

2007 PC tech,101: (the pain of old and worse pain of AMD old far far worse)

omg, full of relic Amd chips NForce junk means w10 does not support it, device manager told you so but did not look (w7 new) AMD Athlon X2 7450 + NVIDIA nForce 720a A2 + NVIDIA ID075C A2 )not good this.
added to SATA port and SATA power cable, both. cables.
'
disk management is last not first ever, device manager is first. DEVICE DRIVErS> are first.
and the hdd must be good and if 5+ years old most are not.
order matters: on HDD,
HDD not year 2001 SATA those be all dead now, even 2007 too (no hdd maker nor model told)
First cables
then hdd must spin up heard.
then device manager just be happy, w10 control panel, under DISKS DRIVES NO ERROR HERE ALLOWED.
then DISK manager is next never first, if above works then disk manager shows the disk as disk 1 and disk0 is the boot drive.
the disk 1 even lacking drive letters. will show up here, even as unassigned or ******* format, but not dead.
dead drives mostly do not show up. (if the ID can not be read now the drive is dead)
and if you set a drive letter now, then and only then can it show up in EXPLORER local called THIS PC.


can I assume you pulled the AC power cord, for 5 minutes from wall AC before slamming in the HDD?
if not that is called hot swapping parts and is not allowed.( boom things smoke and burn)

well try this 1 HDD in a 2nd PC, or USB HDD docking station. (encloser or direct to a modern PC)
make sure the HDD is good first.


some PCs have this (my dells all do) never seen a working Packard bell every here in USA for 30 years)
then turn ON all SATA ports in the BIOS or it will never work (if there)
have a spare dvd or cd drive test that in the same failing sata port
have a spare HDD that is known good to test.
try all sata ports yet (not boot port) ?


first off that Nforce set will be dead or 1/2 dead, there is no w10 support on it NOW , dead or 1/2 dead.
nforce ended this day at w7, seen at AMD. RIP NFORCE.

see that hard fact of life? AMD.com

here is the french PB site, ask them for support and for sure AMD nforce lame driver, not here, on our side of big pond. (it asks for PC sub models I do not understand, but not sold here)

no HDD maker nor model number told ,first ones were year 2001, and most of them are dead.now.
device manager is first.
be direct Sata HDD connected 2 cable direct to hdd, from mobo + PSU cable. power.
next

be internet connected first (must be) for PnP to work, plug and play drivers autoload. (a must)
click control panel
click device manage
see hdd in the DISK drives sections.
if the driver is failing it will show errors or show as unknown.
if the hdd is not heard to spin, it is dead. ear to side if disk (a test)

the Nforce 720a chip is not supported today, zero support. from AMD,(maker)

test the hdd that fails in a real PC, modern if dead , bingo. no HDD maker nor model number told ,first ones were year 2001, and most of them are dead.now. device manager is first. be direct Sata HDD connected 2 cable direct to hdd, from mobo + PSU cable. power. next be internet connected first (must be) for PnP to work, plug and play drivers autoload.
