StealthRT Posted February 9, 2006 Posted February 9, 2006 Hey all i need some help with trying to find out why my second HD is not showing up in XP Pro. When the computer starts up it list both my hard drives. When in XP i check the Device Manager and both drives are listed (and say they are working properly) Yet only the first HD is in the My Computer (C:) Any advice on how to correct this? Thank you for your time, David Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SageI Posted February 9, 2006 Posted February 9, 2006 It needs to be partitioned. Go to the following: Control Panel Administrative Tools Computer Management Disk Management You should see your new drive there (if not then I don't know) If it is there Right click on it and set it up the way you want it.

red930 Posted February 10, 2006 Posted February 10, 2006 Well...not partitioned but formatted..partition is an option after formatting. A drive must have at least one partition before it can be formatted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
