Hi
I have just installed two new identical Maxtor SATAII drives. When installing vista AND in bios I see the two drives.
When Vista was installed, I now only see the one drive in My Computer.
Please help!

Many Thanks,
Joseph Middleton

Ye sorry....
Very simple, right click on COMPUTER in the start menu and click manage.
Go to disk management I you can see the missing hard drive, right click on the BLUE LINE next to the icon of the drive and click new simple volume.
FORMAT (takes a VERY long time)
and your chosen lettered volume should appear in My Computer!
(VISTA ONLY)

Many Thanks,
Joseph Middleton
