Ok here is the situation.

I have a Samsung ATA hard drive.

I plug it into the MOBO

XP says "new hardware found" and says "Samsung XXXXX"

I CAN NOT see the drive in XP ( D:, E:, etc...)

I CAN NOT see the drive in drive management (admin tools)

I CAN see the drive in device manager

(My boot drive is ATA so I know the drivers are correct)


ummm ....WTF, help?

To detect new disks

# -

  1. Open ms-its:c:%5Cwindows%5Chelp%5Cdiskmgmt.chm::/EXEC=,compmgmt.msc,/s%20CHM=mmc.chm%20FILE=alt_url_snapin.htm - - Computer Management (Local) .
  2. In the console tree, click Device Manager.

    ms-its:c:%5Cwindows%5Chelp%5Cdiskmgmt.chm::/dm_add_new_disk.htm# -

    • Computer Management
    • System Tools
    • Device Manager
  3. On the Action menu, click Scan for hardware changes.
  4. In the console tree, click Disk Management.

    ms-its:c:%5Cwindows%5Chelp%5Cdiskmgmt.chm::/dm_add_new_disk.htm# -

    • Computer Management (Local)
    • Storage
    • Disk Management
  5. On the Action menu, click Rescan Disks.

 Notes

  • To open Computer Management, click Start, and then click Control Panel. Click Performance and Maintenance, click Administrative Tools, and then double-click Computer Management.
  • You must be logged on as an administrator or a member of the Administrators group in order to complete this procedure. If your computer is connected to a network, network policy settings might also prevent you from completing this procedure.
  • If Disk Management does not detect the new disk after you click Rescan Disks, you might need to restart your computer. New disks appear as Not Initialized. Before you can use a disk, you must first initialize it. For instructions describing how to initialize a disk, click Related Topics. If you start Disk Management after adding a disk, the Initialize Disk Wizard appears so you can initialize the disk.

see if that helps at all.
