    Hard Drive Problems!!
    « on: May 04, 2007, 04:26:09 AM »
    Hey guys I got some hardware problems I need help with, I just formatted my hard drive it's a 80 gig western digital hard drive with two partitions one for the os and one for storage, I also have two hard drives I use for storage both 200 gig maxter hard drives one of them IDE and one Sata. After i formatted my 80 gig western and reinstalled the os, I noticed my sata drive didn't want to show up neither did my IDE drive, I can only see the drive letter for my IDE hard drive when I click on it only gives me the option to format it how can I get it to show all my files and also why is my sata drive not showing up, I already checked the manage and none of the drives show up any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

    I have windows XP pro

    1. 80 gig western digital hard drive for os

    and 2 maxtor 200 gig one ide one sata drives.
