Hi Gang

Just bought a new second SATA hard drive to replace my slave ATA drive.

I have gone through the set up process, but can't view the drive in My Computer. My plan was to have all three drives connected while I transfer the data from my old slave drive to my new slave drive.

I entered bios first and switched the setting for the second SATA drive from 'OFF' to 'AUTO'. When windows started up a little bubble popped up in the corner letting me know that the hard drive had been recognised (Samsung Spinpoint T HD501LJ). I checked My Computer after this to see if it was there, but it wasn't.

Before restarting the pc I checked Disk Drives in Device Manager and the disk was there. In the comments section it stated that the drive was working properly.

My primary disk is also a SATA drive.

I rechecked BIOS and sure enough the drive had been recognised. tried switching off the ATA drive but it didn't solve the problem.

Can anyone help?

Thanks
