Fujitisu MPG3204AT E not recognized

[Wes Stebbins]

I've got a new interesting problem with a computer I'm fixing for someone.
He has two HD's, a 40 gig Western Digital (WD400BB-00DEA0) and a 20 gig
Fujitsu (model MPG3204AT E), a Gigabyte motherboard (not sure the model) .

Basically, his computer crashed and after some valiant attempts at
resurrecting it - to no avail - I never could get it to boot again - I
reinstalled Windows 2000 Professional on his master HD - the Western
Digital. - using an NTFS partition. I did not touch the Fujitsu.

Well, in the BIOS and in Device Manager both drives show up, but in My
Computer only the WD drive does. So, what does this all mean, i.e., why
doesn't the Fujitsu HD show in My Computer? He claims it was working
before. Yes, I made sure the jumpers were set properly - the WD as the
master and the Fujitsu as the slave.

Any help would be appreciated.

Actually, I simply went into Disk Management, i.e., run diskmgmt.msc, and
was able to assign the drive letter there and - lo and behold - it magically
appears now -fantastic. Thanks.

Now that I've got that working, here's another one:

After installing then completely updating his machine - now with Windows
2000 SP4, etc. - somewhere along the way the computer would restart
everytime I tried to just get it to shut down (no - I was not selecting
restart - I was indeed selecting shutdown). Well, after pondering this a
bit, I realized that it was getting a blue screen just before restarting,
and I figured out the error was:
STOP: 0x0000009F (0x00000100, 0xFA9A49B0, ...) DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE
etc.

I went into Device Manager, Advanced tab, the Startup and Recovery Settings.
On the Startup and
Recovery tab, the System Failure section, I unchecked Automatically Restart
and
check Write an event to the system log. Click OK and Reboot.

Now, when I shut down, I always get the blue screen error and check it
against some other error msgs (the red error msgs) in Event Viewer in
Administrative Tools.

What is going on here? I got a feeling it must be somehow related to the
reason the computer crashed in the first place. I'm going to scan the disks
tonight, but what else should I try here?

Thanks again.
