My system is running with a PATA maxtor 40GB HDD and i just bought a Western Digital 250GB 16MB buffer SATA2 HDD, since storage is very very limited at 40.
I plugged the SATA cable correctly, power cables too. Bios showed that my WD2500KS (my new HDD) is connected. But when i'm in Windows, I can't see the drive in My Computer. It's not even in the "Disk Management" under "Computer Management".
I'm not planning on configuring any RAID. Just wanna use it as it is.
I tried to install Windows on my new SATA HDD by pressing the F6 key and using the required files from the floppy and it seemed to work. I can divide my WD2500KS into partitions and the setup allows me to install Windows on one of the partitions but I didnt because my OS is in my PATA maxtor, and I just wanna use my WD2500KS as an additional HDD.
What did i miss? Do i need to install a driver? How do i do that?
Thanks in advance
