I have recently built a new computer using two SATA H/D installing XP on one
and using the second for data storage. At the time there was a problem
accessing the second H/D even though Windows could see it within devise mgr'
but would not let me access it. I was able to resolve the problem by
formating the H/D within Windows.
However, for other reasons I have re-install XP on my main H/D, not a
problem because all my data is on the second H/D and the second drive is
already formated!, or that is what I thought, unfortunatly I'm back to my
origional problem of not being able to access the second drive although
Windows can detect it within Device Mgr?.. Off course I do not want to format
the drive again because I will loose all my data.
The drive is now showing as a "New Volume" and has no devise letter and if I
right click on the drive I'm unable to change the the drive letter because
it's greyed out. The two H/D are not set up in a Raid but stand alone,
Windows is showing the second H/D to be healthy, active and working
properly!!!.......but far from it, I just can't access it or my data.
Any Help or advise Please
