Windows Recognition problem

[rcrmb]

I am in need of pointers regarding my problem, as follows:

I have an Asus P4P-Deluxe motherboard, and three hard drives. Two are in RAID and one is in IDE. The two in RAID are my main drives and are recognized in both the Bios and windows. The drive in IDE, is only recognized in the BIOS and not in Windows. I believe it's currently on the secondary IDE as my DVD/Burner is on the Primary. However both the IDE HDD and DVD show up in the BIOS (The DVD works under windows.) Can anyone give me some pointers as to how to get my IDE HDD to show up in Windows, should I switch it to Primary IDE and the DVD to slave?

Thanks.

is this ide hdd a WD model?

IBM Deskstar, jumpers set at Master. I also tried them on Cable Select and it didn't change a thing in Windows.

Is the drive showing up in Device Manager and Disk Management?

Did you partition it?

Not showing up at all in Windows. It's not partitioned either. It shows up fine in the BIOS. This hard-drive (The IDE HDD) was also functioning fine as a Slave on my other machine just a few weeks ago.

Just need to bump this topic up. I could really use some help. Thanks.

so, just to clarify, its not showing up specifically in disk management?

Not showing up in Devices, Explorer, etc. Essentially it has no presence whatsoever in Windows, yet is detected fine in the BIOS.

It won't show up in explorer until U set it up in disk management, thats why we're asking.... U have to partition and format it for it to be used by windows, until then it will not have a drive letter or anything assigned to it.

right click on my computer and go to manage, then click on disk management and see if the drive is listed in there. if so you'll need to right click on it to create a partition and format and such.... the help file will help you from there.

If its not showing up in there, then something is wrong, either a bad cable, or bad setting (master/slave) or bad drive, etc....
