Hi,
I have the following system:
Intel 3.0 Ghz processor with HT
2.0 GB SDRAM
Two hard drives (One Western Digital 30 IDE and one Maxtor 80 GB serial)
ABIT IC7-G Motherboard
Windows XP Home Edition
I loaded windows on my pc and everything appears to be okay except that my second hard drive (80 GB Maxtor) is not being shown in explorer. When I go into the system managment and check under the device maanger it is listed under drives along with my 30 GB HD and my 250 Zip drive, so it appears to be recognized, just not showing up in explorer, so I can't use it.
Before installinng windows to my 30 GB HD I tried to install it to the 80 GB drive. When I formatted the drive, it got all the way out to 100% but would not restart to install windows. The drive is recongized in the Bios so I know that is okay. One other thing is that I partiioned my 30 GB drive into three seperate drives so I have a "C", "D" and "E" listed for that. Any help as to why my 80 GB drive is not showing up is appreciated. Thanks
