I have installed a second drive in the computer. First drive is a Western Digital 20G, 2nd drive is a 40G Seagate. I have the drives set up correctly. The WD drive is the master and the setting is for Master (I double checked). The Seagate is set for Slave (I double checked this also). The WD drive is on the first connector of the 40 pin cable assembly. the Seagate is on the center connector and the other end in the motherboard. Pin1 to pin1 is okay. I checked that also. Pin one is to the side of the power cord. The master drive is working fine (this is the computer I am online with). The 2nd drive I cannot get the computer to recognize.
It shows up in the bios setting..It is showing master drive and slave drive and their sizes..
in the System area from the Control Panel, I checked there. No number is assigned to the slave and I can't access the area to assign it one. Hard disk controller is showing Primary and Secondary, Primary as Interrupt 14 and secondary as interrupt 15. Teh PCI Bus Master IDE Controller is showing both IDE channels enabled.
I'm stumped now and don't know what else to look for to make this second drive work.
Hope that someone can please help me. I would like to access the drive..I have things on it from another computer.
thanks much
