I just got my new PC and I can't get my pc to recognize the secondary hardrive.
I recognizes it in Bios, BUT not as a Slave. I was wanting to use it as simply a place to store stuff and be able to open in from the Computer icon. I recognizes it in the Device manager as well. I see it in both bios and the device manager. I can not see the secondary HDD in the COMPUTER window. I only see the C: drive. I have files on the secondary drive, mainly music and photos and programs.
MY Bios looks something like this:
PPRIMARY IDE MASTER: HDD 80GB
SECONDARY IDE SLAVE: not detected
SATA 1: HDD 80GB
SATA 2: HDD SAMSUNG 1TB
SATA 3:not detected
SATA 4:not detected
SATA 5:not detected
SATA 6:not detected
The SATA connection from the primary is on the first SATA slot on the MOBO.
The SATA connection from the secondary HDD is on the second slot on the MOBO.
My new system is:
AMD Phenom 2 X4 940 3.0 Ghz (Black edition)
Asus M3A76-CM motherboard
Windows Vista 64 bit Home edition
4Gb Kingston DDR2 800
I stil am using my X1950pro for now.
I hope this helps.
Thanks
