I have a 40Gig & a 60Gig hard drive installed in my tower. I had to reinstall XP and now my computer only recognizes one hard drive. How do I get it to recognize both.

how big is the one drive it's recognizing?
100GB?

if yes, it means you wiped out the partitions existing before the re-format


if no

you need to go into the BIOS of the system, see if it shows both

if not
open the case and make sure the cables are connected securly

if not again
reset the CMOS
