Second Hard Drive in Win XP
I have an HP pavilion 9600 running Win XP Home. I have two CD drives and a
Maxtor hard drive. I want to install a second Maxtor hard drive that was used as a win 95 startup disk and which has four partitions. I can get the PCs BIOS to recognize the second drive (listing it by make & model as primary slave, as I expected). Windows, however, does not recognize this drive and has not given any indication of it's existing. I have tried "add new hardware" and the disk management utility, both to no avail. How can I get Windows to recognize and access this hard drive? |
