I got my NF7 2.0 a 160GB drive and it can't seem to detect it.

Is it supposed to? Can this be fixed with a bios update?

Mine worked fine with a Seagate 160GB IDE drive, but I've downsized to a
120GB drive to avoid Windows98 problems.

BIOS 27 is the latest
http://www.abit-usa.com/products/mb/bios.php?categories=1&model=124
The BIOS page above says NF7-S 2.0, that's the correct BIOS for both the
plain NF7 and the NF7-S models, REVISION 2!!

Let's make sure we're both talking about NF7, or NF7-S, revision 2!!
*NOT* revision 1 of anything, *NOT* NF7-S2, *NOT* NF7-S2G
You'll be real sorry if you flash the wrong BIOS. Lots of people have done
it, the model numbers of these boards are easily confused.

Check the jumper on the HD. Choose Master or Slave. Be sure the other
device on the ribbon is correctly set also.

I checked the jumper, cables and everything.

BIOS detects the drive and the size it even shows up in SYSTEM DEVICES and
says it's working properly, but I just can't access it in windows explorer

what am I missing?

Check "disk management" under "computer management". You probably just
need to format it. If it's not there then remove it in the device
manager and then "scan for hardware changes".
