Bit of a mystery for me this one. I have a HD installed as a primary slave, I can see it in the bios and I can see it in the "device manager" in windows xp.

However it does not show up in "my computer", I have tried to re-install it using the seagate disk wizard and it see's it just fine and warns me that it's going to delete the data if I continue so I know it's there and all is good.

Anyone have any idea why I can't see it in "my computer" it just has random files on it, no programmes installed.
My main raid setup works fine and is obviously there, it's just not showing drive E: under harddrives anymore.

Also using diskwizard I am able to test the drive and it say's it is working fine.

Take a look in Disk Management (right click on My Computer & pick manage), you may need to import the volume that's already on the disk if it's been used in another PC.

Thanks for that, didnt know it was there. Problem was it was'nt assigned a drive letter, 2 mouse clicks and all is working :cool:
