Windows XP Home is not recognizing my slave drive. I
tried setting the BIOS to boot from it so I could at
least configure it, but Windows ignored it and booted
from my master drive anyway. Any suggestions?
 
What is on this drive that would make it bootable? Did you make a copy from
primary to this slave, and if so, how did you do it? Unplug the primary
drive just to see what happens.
 
Hi

Right click My Computer/manage/disk management
Highlight the slave drive and right click, select initialize drive. Thereafter, you can format and partition the new slave drive
