Kishor,
Try updating the BIOS to whatever is the latest. Go to www.hp.com/go/support for more info.

Hope it helps!

Good Luck - Tim

Re: HP E60 IDE Hard disk

HP did not test IDE hard drives. If you are going to try IDE, I suggest not mixing SCSI with IDE.
A BIOS update will probably not make a difference. But the latest and last E60 BIOS rev is 4.06.26:

Kishor, Terri is right, the IDE bus was not set up for disk drives. It was configured & tested for the CDROM only.
