I have two hard drives attached at the moment, both are found during mobo boot up and can see them both when I go to Hardware manager BUT in explorer only the one is showing up...
what can I do to get the second showing as I need access to it fairly urgently!
cheers
are you running xp/2003...?
what you have to do, is get into the harddrive management thigny (type diskmgmt.msc into the start-> run thing), select the harddrive, right click and 'assign drive letter..."
i found that out earlier today :)

edit: my thread
i'm running win98...
just trying as you suggested by allocating drive label/letter...-
damn, nope, it won't allow me to change either drive letters. it sees them both but options are greyed out.
...just checking for drivers on the net...
is it NTFS? maybe windows98 cant see it cos of that?

nope both are fat32, and can't seem to see it on winXP either...
tried drivers - no luck there...any more suggestions? are tehre specialists out there that can extract data from hard drives?
i'll be more specific - one with Win98 on is Maxtor Fireball 3, and data is on a seagate (baracuda? an old one i think...)
in device manager they come up as 'generic disk drive'...could be the cause of prob perhaps...
Have you tried booting up from DOS to see if both drives are accessible ?
Also try running FDISK to see if it can access the said drive.
both are "fighting" to be teh Master? check cable & jumpers on each HDD.. sorry i know it sounds dumb but just to make sure :D
Do they show up in the POST?
Are they actually on? Many a time where something has been not plugged in correctly or properly for me :o
when you boot windowsXP make sure you assign the drive letter like i said earlier :) could be windows playing silly buggers,
