I attached a new sata drive to my mother board
bios detected sata drive as non- raid which is correct
i logged into windows disk manager utility sata drive was not detected. I could not locate the drive in xp under device manager or disk manager.
Connected sata drive to usb port via sata usb adapter drive was detected right away in xp and proceed to format the drive into ntfs using the usb adapter.
Shut down the computer once again reconnected sata drive to the motherboard went back into disk management utility in xp and still no sata drive.
If has anyone experience the same problem and can provide me with a solution would be really appreciated
not sure if hardware details are necessary but i can provide them on request.
Thank you in advance
