Hope somebody can help me. Got a new system ASUS P4P800E deluxe mobo, Intel P4 3.0Ghz 1024 Mb Ram MDT NEC DV5800B dvd-rom NEC ND3500A dvd-rw, floppy, Maxtor HD 6Y080MO (80GB S-ata), Maxtor HD 6Y160MO (160GB S-ata). All is well connected and recognized, and I've installed Windows XP and working fine, except that I cannot get my 2nd HD fully recognized by XP. The HD is recognized in my hardware profile, and without error, but in MyComputer, it only gives the primary HD. Any suggestions ? (noticed in a help file that system can only recognise 4 IDE or ESDI systems. Can it be that this 160GB HD is the 5th ? ( 2DVD + floppy + 2HD = 5) Neske

Problem got solved thanks to you guys. It was indeed the 2nd disk that wasn't formatted yet. But as I could not find it, I couldn't format it. (used to have only 1 disk in all my former PC's) Thanks for pointing this out to me. Neske

Finally got the time to answer back. Problem was indeed that the disk was not formatted in disk management. Thanks for all suggestions and pointing out my stupidity in this one. Thanks again.
