2 WD Raptors and Newest isnt detected?

[royce]

Ok I have a 36.7GB raptor running on SATA1 on my shuttle. I got my other 70GB one in and plugged it in, put it on SATA2... Bios detects it, but windows doesnt. They share the same SATA Power line though... Does anyone know whats up with this? btw, im on vacation so I cant fix the problem till friday..

Has it been formatted yet?
Does it show up in disc management or device manager?

Lemming has probably hit it on the head, Right hand click on My computer and click Manage, then under the header storage click Disk Manager and you should see your second drive, probably need to click initalise and format on it and then get it assigned a Drive letter then away you go.

Good luck
