On XP Home. I have had two hard drives, and a long time ago I
reconfigured the hardware profiles to try to save power and heat.
Now, after a while with only one internal drive, I have installed a
second drive.
I cannot get it to recognize a new hard drive that I installed.

Is there a way to reset the "hardware profiles" config??

I can see the drive on the device manager. It's there and working
properly. It's not showing up on "My Computer"

Any ideas?

Thanks, J.P. I have not, in fact, formatted it. I can do so via USB
connection, I suppose (with an adapter I have) although it is straight
out of the box, so *should* be formatted...??

I will definitely look at the slave status - that's a great idea.
Thanks!

Matt

Partitioning under Disk Manager worked. Thanks!
