HP mini 1000 not recognizing hard drive
#1
This is weird story. I have a Zune 30. It uses ZIF PATA drives, just like my HP mini 1000 does.

I wanted a new SSD drive for my Zune. The one I bought didn't work. I was curious if the one in my HP mini did. I took the drive out of the netbook and put it in the Zune, didn't work.

I put the netbook back together, and it won't admit that there is a hard drive connected to it. I have a ZIF -> USB adapter, and the drive (and all ZIF cables) work great.

Why won't my HP read the drive? I've tried re-flashing the BIOS with the latest, but that didn't work.

I figured I'd broke the laptop somehow, so I found a new motherboard for it on eBay. I switched the motherboards, and it still won't read the drive? WTF? Why won't it read a working drive using working ZIF cables?

I think you would better to check connection for the zip cable bewteen hard drive and motherboard or find out if you broke the cable or the connection.
I don't think you need to replace new motherboard.

I don't think you need to replace new motherboard.

That's what's weird. The drive and cable both work (with my ZIF -> USB adapter).

if you are sure the cable and connection both are fine, the problem should be from motherboard.
a smd chip as a capacitor or something else from the motherboard could be loose connection or have a malfunction.
you could try with heat-gun to heat up to make connection working fine around the connection area.
