I need some help please

Ok I know my way around computers well but havent upgraded for a couple years until now.



I have the Abit A8n Ultra, X2 3800 and 1 raptor 36 and a sata 2 250 gig and need to know how to configure both so windows will recognize them.



Bios sees both on sata 1 and 2 plug-in, but windows only sees my raptor which is on sata 1. Do i need to install the raid driver during install or something else ?



Your help is appreciated.

Have you created a partition on the SATA2 drive? Go to Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Computer Management -> Disk Management. Does the SATA2 appear there? If so, create a partition on it. It should then appear in My Computer, and you can then format and use it.

The sata 2 drive shows up in bios but not in windows or disk management.

Format it in bios using FAT or NTFS



Then, it should show up in windows.

Thanks for the replies,I will get back to it tomorrow, burned myself out tonight trying to figure out the stop codes. Turned out 1 stick of the OCZ is bad.





Thanks
