Hope you can help. I took a IDE 200GB drive from my old machine and
installed it my new Vista HP Pavilion a6230n for backup/storage. The a6230n
came with a SATA drive (400GB). I used the IDE connection on the
motherboard for the 200GB drive and tried Cable Select, Master, and Slave.
Problem is that I can not get the 200GB drive to show-up when I click on the
"Computer" icon. I can see C:/, and D:/. I see the drive in "Computer
Management" and "Disk Management" and can change the Letter designator when
ever I want. The drive in qestion show status as Healthy (Active, Primary
Partition). I tried reformating the drive and selecting a different drive
letter. Setting up two partitions then changing it back to one. Still no
drive leter showing up for this drive when I click on the Computer Icon on
my desktop. I can type the drive letter "L:/" into the address bar at the
top of the open folder and I see the drive and it's contents. Tried calling
Seagate Cutomer Service to no avail. Soooooo, any ideas out there??? Thanks
inadvance..... JohnS
