Ive just put a 500gig western digital sata drive as a storage disk in my computer. Its not having windows installed on it. Put it in and vista couldnt see it, but the bios could (that includes it not being there in disk management). I then plugged it into a XP machine, it saw it no problem, did a full format and put some files on it, so i know the drive itself is working. I then returned the disk to my vista machine and its still not visable (again not even showing up in disk management) Ive tried all the different sata ports ive tried different power leads and different sata cables. Im completely stuck now to why it isnt working, it should surely at least show up in disk management, done afew searchs and all the advice i can find is "look in disk management itll be there"
grateful for any advice.
