I have an Intel motherboard L440GX, Pentium III 600 MHZ, with dual CPU.
It has an Intel Boot Agent 4.0.17. with SCSI enabled
I press F2 after boot up, and the BIOS set-up did not recognize that there is an IDE hard drive in either IDE1 or IDE2
I tried with various hard drive like Maxtor, IBM but to no avail. Could it be that the BIOS is the problem ?
The hard drive light did come up. The power cable and IDE is connected properly to the IDE port.
Have you got the slave/master jumper settings right on the drive?
What type of IDE system is this ATA 66, ATA 100, ATA 133?
Have you got the right cable connecting the drive to the IDE channel?
Have you tried a different cable from a known working machine?

Please let me know if this issue was resolved. If so, how I am having the same problems now!

Yes. I solved this problem a long time ago, but I do not recalled how. I do know that you do not need to update
your BIOS. The answer is in changing the setting within
the BIOS itself. Try to disable the SCSI.
When the computer boot up it flashes some screen where you could go into that screen or you could bypass it and then it takes you to the BIOS setting. Changing one or two settings will solve your problem.

O problema é que o sistema não reconhece dispositivos IDE configurados sem JUMPER. Para resolver o problema, configurar
o dispositivo IDE através de jumper do próprio dispositivo.
SE DEIXAR SEM JUMPER NÃO VAI FUNCIONAR.
