Right click my computer and select "manage"
In the storaghe section there's a "Disk Management" plugin, click it.
You should see your new disk in there (if it's installed properly), but it won't have a drive letter yet.
If you right click on it, you should be able to assign it a latter and quick format it.
If it's not in the list, you probbly haven't installed it proiperly or installed the right SATA drivers.
I used to have a handle on life, but it broke.

Make sure you've got the sata drivers for your motherboard installed and you've got the sata ports enabled in your bios.

ok
just thought what does the jumper have to be set on as at the moment its set on 1-2 and there is a setting PM2 enabled on 3-4 this has no jumper in it?

k just look on the cd that came with the mother board and there is no driver for the sata ?
it is enabled in my bios and when the computer does a check on boot up it shows the sata drives and the drive is showing up on there?

Stuipd Question
Does it show up in Device Manager?
as my Sata drives showed up there before i formated them .
and do you have a RAID set up in the BIOS.
mine is just after the IDE detection, if so look it see if you need to do anything there (i know you dont whant RAID but its still worth a look)

i presume you have'nt installed the sata/raid drivers [it wont recognise it in windows unless you have] you can dl the nessasary drivers for your motherboard from the manufacture's sitealso Raptors Arent 80GB  they come in 36.7GB, 74GB & 150GB size's
Fast is fine, but accuracy is everything.
Issue the orders Sir, and I will storm Hell. |
