Greetings, I have installed a 2nd hd to this Pc.It's Master HD is NTFS. I CANNOT "FIND" the 2nd hd. Device Manager shows it, but not under "Disk Management" etc. Any ideas? The jumpers are correctly set[Would Device Manager find the 2nd HD if the jumpers were incoerrectly set?] This HD {2nd} has recently been used by me in another pc. thanks -ez

When you start your computer does the drive show up in the bios?
Which method are you using to select driver?

Cable select
or
Master/slave

Are you using 40 or 80 wire connectors?
Does the connector have index bump on it or is it flat?
