Where did the new HDD's go?
Home build - Vista Ultimate, Asus M2N-Sli Deluxe Motherboard. Few other bits that probably don't matter - but they are in there.
Original build included 2 x 500Gb HDD's. On power up for first time, computer found both drives and told me they were there.
Meddling about, as you do, I found that the tower has an adaptor that is designed to hold four HDD's - so I decided to add two more - for no other reason than "because I can".
Screwed them in, connected them up, turned on the machine....nothing. Not a sight nor sound of them.
Drive C is SATA 1 (500Gb HDD), D is SATA 2 (an, asyet unused, 500 HDD), E is SATA 3 - a Philips DVD Duner. F is SATA 4 - another DVD burner.
The two new ones were plugged as SATA 5 and 6. When I solve this conundrum, the next trick will be to install an EIDE drive that is full of documents and used to run on XP Pro in another tower.
Any thoughts?
