I've had to reinstall Windows XP Home and now my OS can't
see my secondary, 160GB Maxtor ATA/133 hard drive. The
BIOS detects it at startup. XP had no problem detecting
it before I had to reinstall it. The ATA/133 PCI Card is
in the top slot and connected properly. I went to right
clicked on My Computer, chose Manage, and clicked Disk
Management but my 2nd drive is not detected. Last time I
had this problem (had to reinstall XP once before, thanks
to Symantec products), Maxtor told me to move the PCI
card from slot 2 to slot 1 and this seemed to work but
the card is already in slot 1 now. HELP!
