Anyone know why WIN XP doesn't see my hard drive when trying to install? I went through the BIOS but may be missing something. I know they are connected.
Can anyone give me some reasons to jog my memory
Thanks
Steve

They are both SATA drives and the directions say that MAster for each drivr is what to set them at. Western digital says in almost all cases master is that you want. Do not touch!
I believe they are correct. I had this system in RAID ! and now I am so pissed with XP thinking the mirrored drive has some stuff on it that I dumped the Raid and going with 2 seperate drives.
Thanks
Is the bios set correctly? Are you pressing F6 to install the driver?
