    [SOLVED] SATA Drive not detected
    « on: August 12, 2009, 09:58:31 PM »
    Hi,

    I just installed Windows 7 RC on a new SATA Drive, but my previous SATA Drive, with Windows XP is not being detected in the Windows 7 installation. If I boot into Windows XP, the new SATA Drive is not detected either.

    Any ideas on fixing this?

    My Motherboard - http://www.asrock.com/mb/overview.asp?Model=939Dual-SATA2&s=Archives

    Please let me know if I've missed anything, or if this belongs in the software category.

    Thanks for any help in advance. God bless!

      Why are you bumping someone else's Topic ? ?

      Or is that you ? ?

        That's my team-mate bumping it for me.

        I reinstalled Windows 7, and it seems to be fine now - I can see the old hard drive and it works =]

        Well we can't be expected to follow who's on each team...
        Glad you got it solved however.

          Agreed - didn't expect you to, just stating why - so he's not flagged as a robot :P
