Hi,
does anyone know how to solve problem with my hard drives ? I bought new computer with SATA drive as a primary drive which is working fine. I have also older hard drive 120GB, when I connected it as a slave or master - My Computer doesn't see it. I have it in Device Manager and BISO but don't have access from My Computer.
motherboard - ASUS M2V
processor - AMD 64 X2

What is the problem ??
Thanks
 
Is the 120Gb drive actually formatted yet or not? Is it a brand new drive? For My Computer to see it and for it to be usable it must be formatted into a valid windows filesystem (either FAT32 of NTFS, i suggest NTFS). To do this open Contorl Panel go to "Administrative Tools", open "Computer Management", select "Disk Management". You should now see your 120gb drive in there, right click and select Format, follow on screen instructions form then on in.

ok, well, judging by the symptoms, i would say your 120Gb drive is either physically broken or is corrupt, can you test the drive in another computer?
