Ata Ide
I have two IDE/ATA drives C&E and have added a SATA PC says it's working but Explorer can't see it to use
I have a Aesus A7S8X-MX motherboard and am now running two IDE/ATA hard drives. I've added a SATA drive (MAXTOR STM3250310AS) which I believe is blank..XP recognises the drive is there and says it is working properly but I can't see it in Explorer (should be F:) to format it. In Device Manager is has no location. BIOS is showing it as either Primary or Secondary SATA (I've tried it in both slots).
The Maxtor is SATA 2. The cable from Maplin was said to be suitable for SATA 1 and 2.
I've tired all the usual Troubleshoot Help for SCSI .
I have an XP installation disk but it's not the orginal one for the PC...
Any ideas?
