Win XP Will Not Find 2nd Sata Drive

by texaspepper1040 . Updated 17 years, 2 months ago

I have read all I can find here about Sata drive installs. Here is the issue I face.

Windows XP (SP-2)
Asus A8N-VM MB
C:\ WD Sata (Working Fine for over a year)
Board has 2 Sata plugs

Added 2nd Sata 350G Drive WD3200KSRTL
Setup Drive with WD CD
Asus MB sees both drives as Sata 1 250G & 2 350G

Boots up as normal into Windows XP
Win XP WILL NOT SEE 2nd Sata Drive in Disk Management i.e. WILL NOT bring up Disk Wizard to add signature to the drive.

History: For over a year had a Maxtor 60G as the 2nd b/up drive running with the WD 250G Sata and had no problems.

Tried Raid setting on MB and this did not work.
Ideas? I am stumped on this one.
