could you tell me then why my maxtor 320gb hdd wont go with my 'unknown hardrive, its 60gb and it doent display its name in device manager, its a ide, fully updated, fully working, but my sata (maxtor) 1 is not displayed in my computer but is displayed in device manager, i plugged everything in the write sockets/plugs and then updated the drivers (all up to date)

I cannot make heads or tails of what you are saying.

Which drive works, which doesn't?

Read your manual -

ok, i have a unknown 60gb hardrive instaLLED ON MY COMPUTER ALREADY, And i want to add the new 320gb to form a 380, but i want to beable to access them seperately so my 320gb will be like disk (e:/) and my old 1, the unknown one will be c:/ (still), but when i install my new 1 and look in my computer i cannot find anything to do with it, i can only find what i used to find ( floppy, dvd drive and my old hdd) but when i access device manager, its in there and says its working fine, with all drivers fully up-to-date so i was wondering how come it isnt in my computer, and how can i get it there + fixed?

Left click Start, right click My Computer, left click Manage, left click Disk management, right click on the drive icon for the NEW drive, Initialize I believe.
