I have a P4C800-E Deluxe, and have been using a single 74 Gig WD Raptor as SATA 0. I decided to add a second SATA drive as SATA 1 (a WD 200 Gig) and have the following problem:
- The BIOS can see both drives
- Device Manager in XP sees both drives
but the Drive does NOT show up in My Computer.

I am running Windows XP SP1.

Is there anything obvious that I am missing??

Thanks,

Try Disk Management under Administrative Tools/Computer Management

If you can se it there but i dont have a drive number, give it one and it should appear in My Computer

I think Soni has it, the second drive probably isn't formatted. You can do that in computer management.
