I just installed another harddrive on my computer (SCSI harddrive) this drive contains my OS; the other harddrive which is an ATA IDE harddrive. I'm unable to access the second harddrive (ATA IDE); however, in device manager under hardware the drive is said to be working properly. Can you tell how this device is working properly and yet I don't see it when I go to my computer ans unable to access this drive? I currently have the jumper set on this harddrive as cable select. Need help!!

Maybe it no longer has a drive letter assigned to it. Use Disk Management (diskmgmt.msc) to assign one.
