hi guys i know you have probably come accross this problem loads of times but i have installed a second hard drive on my pc as a slave it is showing up in add hardwere and is saying that the new hard drive is working but its not showing up in my computer.

help

check the jumper setting on the drive, one should be master the other master with slave or both should be set to cable select and put the master drive at the end of the cable and the slave on the second channel

have checked and all the jumper cables are in the correct order its showing up in the device manager but not in my computer

what file system is on the HDD and what opearting system are you running on your PC

running windows XP just tryed changing the jumper cables to cable still no joy

start the pc in safe mode let us know if you can see the drive

will do

can't see the drive in my computer in safe mode

again what file system is on the HDD you are trying to look at

i can see my hard drive local disk (C) in my computer i can't see the new one i have added as a slave in there need to be able to use it for storage
