I am adding a 2nd SATA HDD to my system. I can't see the 2nd HDD in Explorer. The Primary HDD is also SATA and the 2nd on that I'm installing already has data on it. It was a 2nd HDD on a system with an IDE primary HDD connected to a SATA PCI card.
The SATA is connected to a Promise Fastrack S150 TX2Plus SATA PCI card. I just connected another SATA cable to the card and into the 2nd SATA HDD and put a SATA power cable adapter onto a regular power plug to go into the 2nd HDD.
This is what comes up ont he SATA screen during bootup:
ID = 1
Mode = 1+0 Stripe
Size = 119000M
Track-Mapping = 14467/255/63
Status = Optimal
Then, it instructs me to pres F1 to Continue or F2 to go into Setup.
I've gone into Setup and changed the setting for a Primary Drive 0 to AUTO. Still with no change.
I am pretty sure that the jumper on the 2nd HDD is set to cable select.
What do I need to do to configure this to read as just a second HDD.
THanks,
