System not seeing hard drive
Over the last few weeks my system crashed. I installed 2 new SATA hard drives. everything went fine. I am now reinstalling programs and etc. One thing though when I go to "my computer" there is only one hard drive. In device mgr it shows both. What am I missing?

Is the hard drive that doesn't show up in "My Computer" formatted with a filesystem that can be recognised by Windows? (FAT, FAT32, NTFS, Etc...)

Assuming this is a non-Raid configuration, Carl, you should be good to format the problem drive in Disk Management.

Thanks RED I found it. Not thinking today. Was in conferences all day.
HDD is formatting. One question. Will the system reallocate drice letters? Last edited by carlmccut; 12-06-2006 at 08:26 PM. |

Yup, new letters will be assigned. You can change them to what you want - all but the C drive.
