SATA drive not recognized
hey there. I installed a new IDE HDD to replace my SATA drive (use it for backup) so i have windows installed on my IDE and i have it as a master, and the SATA as a slave (no jumper). During boot both HDD's are found by the BIOS, but when i get to the "my computer" it does not see the SATA drive. Any ideas?
I don't want to format the SATA drive cause it has all my old files on it that i want to transfer to my new drive. Thank you. |

If you go into Disk Management, is the SATA HDD shown?

Do not remove the factory installed jumper from a SATA drive. Put it back where it was. There is no master/slave with SATA.

ok, i will put it back. I did however get it fixed...turns out with the new install of XP on my other drive, it didn't have some of my motherboard drivers installed including a RAID driver...after installing it everything works fine. Thank you guys, you have both been helpful as usual.

Why did you hijack the thread instead of starting your own?
