Download and install the latest drivers for the computer maker. Don't let Windows install what it thinks is the best driver.
Did you install the SATA/RAID driver from ther computer maker/motherboard maker?
Hi all
I am using an 80GB Seagate IDE as the main HDD and a 200GB Seagate SATA as the extra storage. Recently I formated the main HDD (80GB IDE)and installed Win XP and any drivers and controllers I had installed before. The "Device Manager" and also "Disk Manager" both detect my SATA HDD; however "My Computer" doesn't show my SATA HDD. My best guess is that it could be due to Bios configuration. Below are my mobo ans SATA HDD specifications.
Mobo: Gigabyte GA-8PE800 Ultra Onboard SATA
HDD: Seagate 200GB ST3200827AS
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you ![]()
