I just installed a WD 36GB Raptor SATA drive for OS and apps. I plugged a couple of WD 200GB drives into my Promise TX2 ATA controller and formatted them. Now I can't access either. The have drive letters. They show up healthy in Disk Management. When I go to MY COMPUTER and try to access either drive, the computer hangs for 30 seconds and tells me that THE DRIVE IN NOT ACCESSABLE. SEMEPHORE TIMEOUT PERIOD EXPIRED.
I believe have the most recent Promise card driver. I downloaded the latest one from the site and Device Manager wouldn't let me swap them.
Please help...
My machine (hopefully):
AMD Athlon 2000+
2* 512MB Crucial PC2700 DDR333
ASUS A7N8X Deluxe rev. 1.6
WD Raptor 36GB SATA 10k rpm
2* WD SE 200GB HDD
ATI Radeon 9500 Pro 256MB
Antec 330 Watt PSU
Windows XP Pro sp1
