Re: Adding new disks under XP

["Steve D" <steve@xxxxxxx>]

Try mucking about in your bios and auto detecting all the drives, save
and
exit.
Restart, does it work?
If not go back into your bios, have a look at the auto detect and check
the
right disk is listed in the bios as the master, sometimes even if you
set
the right jumper settings on the drives, one of them might still insist
on
being primary, if using cable select try switching to manual as slave.,
and
the master, as master, not cable select.
Restart, go into bios and autodetect, does it all look right? save and
exit.
restart, does it work?
no, go into bios and see if you can select the first boot device, select
the
corect harddisk, save n exit, and restart.
Should work.


HTH Steve
