I recently had my PC running XP crash and since I had bought a Vista package I installed it and activated through Microsoft. Seems to be OK except for one thing; I can’t find the D:/ [slave] 320 Gig Seagate Baracuda drive that has all my graphics files on it. What is ironic is that the drive does show up in the system BIOS as well as in Device Manager. I have tried updating the drivers, disabled the drive and re-enabled it… nothing changes. This hardware configuration hasn’t changed in 2 years, it’s a Shuttle with a 2.8 P4 and 2 Gigs of RAM, the root drive is 120 Gigs. Formatting the slave drive is out of the question as I have about 200+ gigs of image and other data files that I can’t lose. If this is a Vista OS glitch, the cheapest fix might be to buy Windows 7 and change the OS.
