Hi,
OK before my PC did see both. Second hard drive is just to put files and stuff on. OS is on my first drive. It just seem to happen. I checked in the BIOS and it see it. And in Device Manager it is listed and says it is working properly. So I do get it. What else should I do?

Thanks in advance,

Redd

Does Disk Management see the drive?

Example of Oxymoron:

Person who is pro life and anti sex education.
Education is key to prevention. Prevent conception you prevent abortion.

Abstinence training clearly isn't working.

OK I went into Control Panel, System, Click tab Hardware, Clicked Device Manager, then Disk Drives, Both drives are there. Thenright clicked My second HD Then Properties. Then clicked Tab named Volumes. And then clicked Populate. It said " Disk: Disk 1
Type: unknown
Status: Not Initialized
Partion Style: Not Applicable
Capacity: 238.....
Unallocated Space: 238...
Reserved Space: 0
And were it says Volumes that box is empty."

It is suppose to be NTFS format. But I tried something and used another os (Ubuntu) and it saw theother drive but as scsi. Now I have a big question mark over my head.

Hope this puts some light on the problem.

Thanks Again.
