Hard Drive not recognized in My Computer
I recently did a clean install of Windows XP Home SP2 with 2 hard drives.
The new installation is on the previous slave drive and the new slave drive is the old primary drive. Both drives are jumpered as "cable select", however the new slave does not show up in "My Computer", but does show in "Disk Management". It has no drive letter, but is listed as Disk 2 and the partition is NTFS Healthy Active. When I reverse the drives, they both show up, primary as C and slave as D. I don't want to delete the partition of the new slave yet as I want to make sure all of the information I need is copied over. I have done this before with no similar problem, but cannot figure out what the issue is here. Thanks for any help. |

Have you tried to assign it a drive letter.
Also try changing the jumpers to Master and Slave. JS "Rich B" wrote in message ... I recently did a clean install of Windows XP Home SP2 with 2 hard drives.

Thanks for the response
When I right click on the drive in disk management, the only choice is "delete partition". I also tried from a command prompt using diskpart, but whne I use list volume, the drive is not listed. Any other ideas? "JS" @ wrote in message ... Have you tried to assign it a drive letter. Also try changing the jumpers to Master and Slave. JS "Rich B" wrote in message ...
