Prior to this problem, my 3 HD's, 2 dvd drives and rest of hardware ok. I've had windows 64 bit laying around so I finally installed it. Couldn't find drivers for some hardware so I installed XP Pro again, powering down 2 HD's so windows wouldn't choose one of them to install on like it did once before. I've done this before and after powering up the drives, entire system ok. This time my 40 gig drive is partitioned C, E ok.
WD 160 gig 7200 listed in Disk Management SCSI
WD 80 gig 7200 " " " " Eide
Plextor dvd listed and functions
Sony dvd listed and functions
HD's are listed as healthy ( active ) and working properly
The only options available for the HD's is "HELP or DELETE" everthing else is greyed out.
When I open "My Computer" only 1 HD is listed and the 2 dvd drives
The Scsi card has the 160 gig and one dvd and the dvd is ok.
I have new rounded cables and have switched cables all good.
I tried the demo of EasyRecovery and it listed all the files on the 2 drives. I could purchase it and retrieve files to burn.
AMD athlon 64 3000+ socket 754
2 gig 400ddram 3200
ATI X800pro
MSI K8T Neo
Xp Pro sp2
How can I get windows to recognize the drives?
