you need to go into your bios setting, and enable the new drive. Then the os will see it.
Hey everyone.Just put in a new maxtor 200 gig hd as my primary to replace the old 80 gig I had.With the old setup I also had a Maxtor 200 gig as a storage drive, and put my backups for photos, music, etc on it.Did a fresh operating system install on the new drive,and it's fine, but doesn't show the second drive under my computer.However it does under device manager, and says that the device is operating properly.I'm lost, I have tons of stuff on that second drive that I want to transfer back onto the new primary.I have the primary set as master,the second drive set as slave.I will mention that when I set up the second drive a year ago I used the Maxtor software,and used windows to set up the new primary drive.I have a Dell Dimension 3000,windows XP Home,3.0 pentium 4 with HT.Any help would sure be appreciated.Btw, I considered drive failure, but for all practical purposes the drive is new.I installed it a year ago, and only accessed it ocassionally for storage.
