I have a weird problem, I installed an old hard drive as a slave to my computer,
When I check the Bios settings the Hard drive shows up. Windows Xp doesn't seem to detect the hard drive though. It doesn't show up as a drive under my computer. It does show up under device manage, but I can't seem to access it. It's a WD 40gb harddrive. I got it off an e-machines computer I no longer needed. The hard drive worked in the E-machine before I removed it, so I reasonably sure the Drive works.
I have no other computer nearby or friends whose computers I can use to check the drive. Any idea what I can do?
P.S. Though the drive shows up in the bios the boot time is longer when I connect the drive. Thanks
