Hello,
My system before operations:
Gigabyte GA-M57SLI-S4 with award BIOS
4 x Samsung T166 500GB hard disk
Windows XP SP 2
I added Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 to the system. BIOS recognized Seagate as a 1500 GB hard drive (if i remember correctly). I Initialized the hard disk in disk management, made one 500 GB partition and other one from the rest of the disk. I moved files from one of the Samsung drive (about 500 GB) to the Seagate’s larger partition. It took a few hours. Seagate’s temperature remained lower than the temperature of the Samsung drives (about 42 C). Everything seemed to work without problems.
Then I removed one of the Samsung drives. I had to disconnect them one by one, because I couldn’t know which one was the empty one. After I pinpointed the empty one, I removed it. After that BIOS auto detect says that Seagate is a 500 GB hard disk. Windows sees it as a 500 GB hard disk too, but it doesn’t detect any partitions in it.
How can I get my system to recognize Seagate disk properly?
