Yet another question... Computer doesnt see my hard drive

[bodmanza]

If i go into hardware device manager under my computer, and go to disk drives, it says my Maxtor 120Gb is functioning properly. However, under normal My Computer, under the "hard drives" section, it only shows my WD RAPTOR, which is the drive I put my OS on... the jumper is set to master, since it has its own IDE cable/channel, so that shouldnt be the problem. Anyone could think of a reason it wont work?

have you formatted your Maxtor in a Windows accesible file system? if not, then do so now as without that "My Computer" won't show the drive.

Any reason this couldn't go in the other thread you had running?

No I have not... how may i go about doing such a thing?
EDIT: wait a sec, do you mean i just have to create a partition on my maxtor hard drive?

:confused: I'm a bit confused. If your comptuer dose'nt see your hard-drive then how can you even get into windows? Or is this another comptuer you are talking about.

example: your comp at home is having this problem and you are at a friends house posting here:shrug:

He has two HDDs..

Yeah, all you gotta do is create a partition and format it. That can all be done via Disk Management.
