| Hi, I have recently bought a secound hard drive as my first was full trouble is that when I load up I can see both HD in start up and also in Device manager but I can not see the secound in my computer. Now I have tried to search with add new hardware and it finds it but just says hardware found and is working, looked for somthing in bios, also I've tried the new Hd in my mates comp and it could not be seen. If I change the drives about I can use the new Hd and not the old one, the HD's are new Samsung 160gb sata in computer info says scsi port 2 and scsi target id 2, the old one is a samsung 80gb and the comp info is scsi port 2 and target Id is 0, mother board is asus a8v-e se. cheers. |

| its perfectly normal dont worry , new hard drives come unpartitioned , you dont see it in "my computer" because it currently have no partitions , use windows disk managment to create partition\s , start-->settings-->control panel-->administrative tools-->computer managment-->disk managment |
| You should use Samsungs hard drive utility to format your new drive. Users have experienced problems using Windows disk management formatting with some Samsung drives. Link to utility . Note that it is DOS based, not Windows.

It's like...It makes me feel alive, you know. It makes me feel human. The only way I could feel this sad now is if I felt something really good before. So I have to take the bad with the good. So I guess what I'm feeling is like a beautiful sadness. Courage and perseverance have a magical talisman, before which difficulties disappear and obstacles vanish into air. I am so glad that GWB's 8 year COD game is finally over. The most important things are the hardest to say. They are the things you get ashamed of, because words diminish them-words shrink things that seemed limitless when in your head to no more than living size when they're brought out. But it's more than that, isn't it? The most important things lie close to wherever your secret heart is buried, like landmarks to a treasure your enemies would love to steal away. And you may make revelations that cost you dearly only to have people look at you in a funny way, not understanding what you've said at all, or why you thought it was so important that you almost cried while saying it. That's the worst, I think. When the secret stays locked within not for want of a teller but for the want of an understanding ear. - Stephen King, intro to "The Body." |
| cheers got it sorted, it's always the simple things. Thanks again to both of you. |
