2 Hard Drives

manjuice · 2 Dec 2007 at 11:18

2 x Hitachi Deskstar 7K160 160GB SATA-II 8MB Cache

I'm plannning to install xp on one and vista on the other.

Not sure if I connected them right, but in the bios, the drives are detected. How come I can't see the 2nd HDrive in xp? (i've not installed vista yet)

(Disk F is an external drive)

Thanks

Hello Mate,

I expect its not partitioned, if you go into manage under my computer and look at the disk management it should be listed.

Thanks.

Should I choose primary or extended. I want vista on this disk.

Why not let Vista format it when you install it?

There was an error when I first tried to install XP to that disk so I thought if I formatted it before installing vista, I won't have the same problem...
