try replacing all the leads that attach to your hard drive including electrical extensions + IDE,SATA and the ones that attach from your motherboard to hard drive have secure connections and are not faulty or just replace them they are probably old and faulty ? good luck
Verify what Drives have been detected by your Operating System by using Windows:
Control Panel -> Admistrative Tools -> Computer Management ->
Disk Management -> Your Hard disk(s) will be displayed with all
existing partitions and any assigned drive letters. Your external (or internal) drive must be recognized as having formatted partitions that have a drive letter assigned to each required partition. Hope it helps: let me know how you go!
have you partitioned and formated it ? unless you do that to the drive it will not show up with a drive letter in windows. go into control panel, administrive tools, computer management, disk management - there you should see all your drives and you can partiton, format, assign or reassign drive letters to them. hope this solves your problem.
Could have something to do with the IDE being set to master.. It has been known that sometimes the SATA drive will take over as the master.. Try changing the IDE drive to cable select, and see if that helps.. If not, change the SATA to slave.
If that doesn't work, post your motherboard model# along with your bios name/version.. and we'll go from there.
As a side note: When they are connected the way they are now, does the bios show both drives?
I've just installed the same type of hard drive in my PC running win XP and have no problems.. do u know that you need to format the disk before it will show up with the other accessible drives?
what to do is - click start, right click on my computer and go to manage.. then double click on storage, disk management local.. and it should show up here, once you format it your all set..
No need for drivers, windows has them already, it's all generic one's the windows is familiar with..
