Vista – doesn’t recognize 2nd SATA hard Drive

by rrb828 . Updated 17 years, 3 months ago

Hey folks,

I just put together a system with Vista (Home Premium) that has 2 seagate 320GB SATA hard drives. Initially, I had trouble installing Vista with both drives attached, but was able to overcome that by removing one of them,…However,…I can’t seem to get Vista to recognize the second SATA drive – or let me be more specific, Vista can SEE the drive (it recognizes it as an unallocated volume), but I can’t seem to format, mount, or do anything with it,…it’s simply regarded as ‘disc 0’ with 320GB of unallocated space,…Any thoughts on how to mount this drive and make use of it? I’m new to Vista (who isn’t) and SATA drives and am wishing the damn things had a set of master/slave jumpers,…Let me know. Thanks

Ryan
