External HD

[Brian]

I am running Vista Home Basic. Recently I installed a new internal drive as
the master, and kept the original partitioned one as a slave. Since then, of
two external usb drives I have, one shows and works ok, but the computer
will not show the other one. If I connect this drive to any other computer,
it is recognised and works ok. Prior to installing the internal drive, it
worked alright.

Help needed please.

You probably have two drives set up with the same letter (or with no letter
on the bad one).

Plug in only the invisible one and use disk management to assign it a new
letter.

Thanks for the reply. It didn't show a drive letter at all, so I allocated
it one and formated and it's ok now. Thanks again
