Hope this will help you out. As you can see in my sig I have two seagates' also but they're both Ultra Ata. When I installed mine I too had the same results so I used windows XPs partitioning and formatting instructions from seagates' site. Good Luck!!! Let us know how you make out. |
Sorry, I didn't mention that this isn't actually my computer, it's a friend's and I was helping them with it. Anyway, both drives are on the primary IDE channel.

No problem.
Well, the old one had WinXP on it, and then we installed XP on the new one, so XP should be abel to "see" both drives, right?
