Disk drive not getting recognized

[lego1]

When I booted up my pc and went to "My Computer" my second disk drive was not recognized. The only way that i can get it to recognize is by doing so manually by right clicking , selecting properties,hardware then device manager. I then have it check for any new hardware and it finds it. Why doesnt it recognize it from the start?


I just finished setting up my computer with two hitachi deskstar 80 gb hardrives on RAID config.


I have already checked BIOS and it says that both are recognized. Thank you for any information you can provide.

Is the Jumper set right?

Yes, one is set to master and the other is set to slave.

So if the 2 HD's are in raid and are all set up as one drive, you will only see one drive letter in My Computer - one 160 gig HD.

You should set Raid as both masters on a differnt channel.

Thanks everyone for your help. I was able to fix it by setting them each to their own channel.
Once again Thank You.
