Multiple Hard Drives

[Dave]

Just reinstalled my XP OS and now the OS wont recognize
my other hard drives whether they are on an ATA card or
as a slave. Any help would be greatly apreciated because
all of my important info is on these drives.

Thanks
Dave

.

Did you install the ATA card driver correctly? Or , Try to
connect these drives on your mainborad's IDE port~

good luck ~~~

Thanks for the help. I have tried connecting them
directly to the IDE as well. No go. I have used the
floppy from maxtor and WD ( I have an ATA from both) as
well as downloaded the drivers too. Still nothing.

Thanks

Hi, Dave.

What do you see in Disk Management about these drives? Have you initialized
them? See the Help file in Disk Management for details.

Does your BIOS recognize these drives during bootup?

Neither Disk Management nor the BIOS recognize the
drives. They only recognize the drive with the OS on it
and the CDRW.

Thanks again
Dave
