greetings . . .

I recently installed a Third HD to my system (Win XP SP2, Gigabyte mobo, core 2 duo, 2gigs ram), and although It can be seen in the BIOS it does not in the OS.

Tried chanching the HD mode in bios, only to not be able to boot at all. I do beleive that it is conected as slave don't know if this has anything to do with the problem.

Any help greatly appreciated.

How are you determining the OS can't see it. Did you go into drive manager and partition/format it?
