OK, I had an Antec media case (the one without the volume knob and display). I found it quite restrictive in terms of upgrading. I wanted to add a second hard drive, but I had no screws long enough for the silicone grommets. So I have transferred everything into an old case I had laying around. The old case also had a hard drive that I figured would come in handy so I left it in. This is an IDE drive, 80GB (with XP on it).
The OS drive is SATAII 250GB (the original drive with vista on it) in port 1, the new drive is SATAII 500GB in port 2.
The mobo has 4 SATA slots and one IDE. I have no floppy. There is a blu ray drive on SATA port 3.
It picks up all the drives in the BIOS, they all appear normal, apart from the 500GB drive, which has less settings than the other two HDDs.
Windows will not pick up the 500GB drive. It displays the other two fine in my computer.
What could the problem be?
