-First make sure that the hard drive you are placing in the desktop computer is the correct size based on the spec build worksheet.  Ensure the correct connections (i.e. SATA, IDE) are available in the system, with the corresponding cables to each, for the hard drive available.
+First make sure that the hard drive you are placing in the desktop computer is the correct size based on the [[Build Specs]] worksheet.  Make sure the system has the proper interface for your hard drive (e.g, IDE, SATA), and the cable is properly connected both to the hard drive ''and'' the motherboard.
 NOTE:  if you are connecting a SATA powered hard drive that ALSO has a 4-pin molex power connection, DO NOT plug in both the SATA power cable and the molex 4-pin cable.  If there are SATA ports use only SATA connectors.

+# Ensure that somewhere in BIOS the Hard Drive is detected or the interface on the motherboard the drive is connected to is enabled and/or set to automatically detect devices (for assistance, ask a neighbor or build instructor for navigating BIOS).
-# Make certain the Hard Drive is jumpered to the master pins and plugged in (and properly seated) to the primary SATA/IDE port.  You may want to try plugging the cable connecting the Hard drive into another IDE/Sata Port on the motherboard.
+# If the hard drive is IDE, double check that its jumpers are set to Master and that it's connected to the last IDE plug along the ribbon cable.  If the hard drive doesn't have a diagram depicting its jumper setting, you can usually find it by Googling the model number.  Often times, no jumper means Master.  You may want to try plugging the cable connecting the Hard drive into another IDE/Sata Port on the motherboard.
 # Try replacing the IDE/SATA cable.
