2nd Hard Drive Problem
<< < (2/2)
StephenH:
Try making sure your BIOS is correct.    Additionally, try putting your CD-ROM as slave, and running the D drive as the second master.

Another thing is that I would check is the jumpers.  Not all cables and cards do cable select well.    Additionally, if a CD-ROM or other device is on the same chain, make sure its jumpers are not wrong.

Additionally, I would check the UDMA settings on the drive and interface you are connecting it to, and see if they are compatible.

I would also try booting PartitionMagic or a similar program, and make sure its partition table is not having a problem.

It happened to me the easiest thing i can tell you is to run "Add New Hardware"  from Control panel them check if it detects it.  If not go to You have to go into the control panel --> Administrative Tools --> Computer Management --> Disk Management Like peale said and right click the drive on the bottom and hit assign letter or something like that... Sorry I can't be more specific I am at my job.   If you still have problems PM me and I will get back to you when I get home

Thanks guys!

I got it up and running.

Control panel --> Administrative Tools --> Computer Management --> Disk Management

and then -->Import Foreign Disk.  

I knew it had to be a software issue since I could see it in the bios.  Its always something simple with these things.  Its recognized in XP now, I can get to all of the media, and it works on Restart.

Thanks again for your help.  Andy
