New guy here and I had a 40GB Maxtor HDD (my C: drive) take a major dump on me. I had a WD 20GB HDD laying around so I installed Windows XP (system has dual HDD with XP installed initially) in an attempt to maybe move the files I had on the Maxtor to this WD until I can get it replaced.
Anyway, after I got the WD HDD formated, XP installed and booted the system up I went to look at the WD 250GB HDD that was the second drive of the system and Windows tells me now that the 250GB HDD is NOT formatted.
I don't know if initially formatting the WD 20GB HDD without having the second WD 250B HDD connected to the system has anything to do with his problem, but does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can get XP to see that the second WD HDD IS properly formatted?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
