You can try a few things, first I would go to Microsofts site and look at the hcl hardware control list to see if the drive or controller is listed. Try using a win98 boot disk and select boot with cd support. And run setup from the cd. if you have access to another computer with hard drive auto detect and the bios sees it, the controler may not be nt compatable.

During NT setup you first need to load an specific driver, insert the disk with the driver an load it.
Since then you will be able to access the HD. It's the same under w2K.
Oh!
If this is a secondary HD and NT is running, go to control panel, SCSI drivers and load the driver from here.
Good luck.
