I have a slight problem. I installed a WDC WD100BB-75AUA1 HDD in my pc. My Bios is set for Auto. This HDD shows on my Bios as slave HDD normal. My problem is the HDD does not show in "My Computer" as a Disc Drive at all. When I runny an "Ad hardwae in "control Panel" the WD100.... Shows normal and working properly. My Question is, "why does this not show as my slave HDD in "my computer" but it shows in "Device Manger" as normal..???
