i have the system below but i also bought an 80gb segate barracuda 7200 rpm to go along with my 160. xp and all of my files are on the 160. i set up the 160 as the master and the 80 as the slave, naturally. however, when windows boots and i open My Computer the 160 gig drive is shown but the 80 isn't. during the ide scan my amd detects both harddrives and everything is hooked up correctly. when i go to the properties of the 160 it shows under the volume when i popluate it: "type: basic
status: online
partition style: master boot record
on the other hand the 80 shows: "type: unknown
status: not initialized
