i figured it out but thx for actually trying to help instead of flamingiss said:you need to proide a little more info. did yuo allready have a sata drive and are adding the IDE? or was the IDe drive the OS drive and you added a sata drive?
What is the model the IDE hard drive? is it alone on the IDe channel you placed it on? if it is a newer drive then remove the jumper from it altogether. also check in start/programs\administrative tools\computer management\disk management if the drive appears there you can partition it and format it there.
