    Heya guys,

    Now to be honest, I attempted the original install about a week ago (I was also replacing a power supply, ram, and a new burner, and since those others worked fine, I put of finishing the install until later).

    I'm installing a 120g drive, in addition to the 40g one i currently have. It seems to recognize it in bios but not in the drive manager (I'm using XP.) Any ideas? I'm not tremendously experienced with installing hardware. Thanks in advance.

    Have you formated the drive?

    Ya might post some more info, Your PC's basic spec's, also some info on your HDD's the old & new, are they SATA? and how you have configured them?

    Also make sure the jumper on the new drive is set to slave and not master.
