I have installed 2 SATA drives and while installing XPPro, I hit F6 and put the drivers in Drive A after it completed it asked if there were any other devices that needed special drivers,(something like that) and I clicked enter to indicate no. I thought that I would only have to load the drivers one time and that would take care of both drives. Only one drive shows up in XPs Disk Manager in Admin Tools. Was I supposed to load the drivers in A: drive again?

sometimes you may have to install the drivers twice. try installing them again if possible.
