I can't get windows to detect my slave Hard Drive

[casper114]

That's pretty much it, I have an 80 gig WD IDE drive that the bios can detect just fine. For some reason I can't seem to get Windows to detect the drive. I don't know what else to do I have tried the add new hardware wizard but to no avail. The kicker of the whole thing is that I can see the hard drive in device manager but no in my computer...GAH!!! I don't know what to do, Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Does the disk have a valid partition? It shouldn't show up in My Computer until you have assigned a partition and a drive letter. If it's a new disk, you may have to write a disk signature for Win2K or XP.

Well, I guess it doesn't. It's not a new disk.. I took it out of one machine and put it in another. I'm going to try to see what disk management can do for me.

right click my computer, choose "manage" and go down to the Disk Managment
