The hard drive disk (HDD) is connected to the motherboard as with all the other components in the computer. If the computer needs to save data onto the HDD than the user input will be processed through the motherboard via the CPU (processor) and transferred into the HDD. If data is needed from the HDD once again the request will be sent through the MB via the CPU to the HDD where it will then be put back through the MB to go into the network via the network cards or USB via USB Interfaces or virtually anywhere else it is required to go.

Is Intel pentium4 3.00GHz will be able to support 1TB Hard disk?
1Tb hard disk supports but its not guaranteed to work perfectly it may cause problems to mother board the preferred one is 500 GB hard disk. I have checked 1 TB hard disk With D945GCL MotherBoard, but its not working ie. MotherBoard is not Supporting.
Is the hard disk drive is part of the motherboard?
No, a hard disk drive is not a part of the motherboard. The mother board is the actual processing unit of the cpu. It performs all the operations and calculations etc while the hard disk is the memory storage unit of the computer. The hard disk is where all the pictures, file, movies, documents etc. are stored in the computer. These files are of course accessed by the motherboard as nothing can happen without the motherboard!
Is CPU can directly communicate with hard disk?
CPU directly communicates with the Hard Disk.
What does it mean when your computer says hard drive not found?
The best way, I think to answer that is to define what a computer (or in this case the motherboard of the computer) needs to find or identify a hard disk. A hard disk needs a power source, a connector to attach it to the motherboard, and a controller to talk to the microprocessor of the computer. If any of these things fail the hard disk will not function and the computer will not recognize it. In general when you see the message "hard disk not found" its because the computer can't recognize the hard disk. This can be from a bad cable (that connects the hard disk to the motherboard), no power to the hard disk, or a failed controller. In my experience, its usually a bad cable but there are times when the hard disk itself will fail. Generally, hard disk cables are far more fragile than hard disks.
Does PATA have two connectors on a motherboard?
Yes, there are two PATA connectors available on the motherboard, so you can connect PATA hard disk through this motherboard.

The motherboard
Where is hard disk on mother board?
a hard disk is a disk inside the hard drive that stores information. A computer's hard disk, or hard drive, is not a part of or mounted on the motherboard, or any of the computer's circuit boards. The drive is installed into some part of the frame within the computer. Its location is not important, because the user does not have to physically access the drive. The hard drive does, however, have a data connection to the motherboard, over which information is transferred to and from the drive.
Does pata hard disk support in Intel 945 family motherboard?

Why install master and slave hard drive in motherboard?
Master and Slave configuration is necessary for motherboard in order to choose right disk to boot from.
How many internal hard disk drive connectors on PC?
It depends on your motherboard. You'll need to refer to your motherboard specifications to find out how many (and of what type) hard disks you will be able to connect internally.
Is a hard disk software?
By hard disk I presume you are referring to a hard drive. A hard drive is classified as hardware as it hard wired to a motherboard. Software refers to any media that is not hard wired. These include floppy disks, CD, DVD and memory sticks/cards.
