will basically. i bought a new 300 gb hard drive. and i wanted to make it a slave drive on my secondary ide. i have 2 hard drives on my primary ide and a cd burner on my secondary ide. i moved the cd burner down to secondary slave and trying to put the 3rd drive on secondary master. what am i doing wrong? i cant get it to detect the hard drive at all. i should... its a maxtor. or is the problem i cant? any ideas?
you probably just have to initialize it in windows. go control panel>Administrative Tools>Computer Management. Click on Disk Management. click on the new drive, select initialize, then format.
if motherboard sees the drive but windows doesn't, read this link tho it is seagate but still the same http://www.seagate.com/support/kb/disc/howto/install_xp_disk_mgmt.html
