I have had windows xp for quite some time
I am also an experienced windows / computer trobleshooter

this is quite troblesome

i have had a sata hard drive wd2500jb running on ali raid card
recently after my mother was installing things
my 250 isnt read by windows
the bios and raid card is reading it and windows does not show it in disk
management

the zip drive also on the raid card is reading appropriatly

windows device manager is reading it as working
properly and the only fuction i can' understand is why it doesnt show up in
my computer or disk management

i was wondering if anyone had some help or advice they might see helpful

i could use it one of few things that i havent figured out in this computer

i reloaded the driver for the hard drive and raid card just in case and it
did nothing

thanks
 
If it isn't in Disk Management, then there is something wrong with the device.

BIOS will report the information off the onboad disk controller, but if
there is a fault with the drivers installed or a hardware fault with the hard
drive, then no chance XP is going to 'see' it for the purposes of storage.
 
I reseated the sata cables and then check all lines for smalll short after i
restarted it worked fine sorry for the trouble
I was confused for a bi there
