Secondary Drive set as EISA

Hey.

Anychance you guys could help me out please

I have just put in a secondary drive from my old XP pc into my new vista pc.

My computer nor bios recongise drive.

disk management see's the drive but,

No volume name.
Healthy (EISA Comfiguration)
9.28Gb (It is a 500Gb drive)
No option to format, just right click on drive and 'Help' tab appears.

I have just thought, when i installed the drive, it didn't appear as new hardware found!

 

It's official, my 5 year old is smarter than I!

He asked 'Did you double checked your work, then triple check?, just to make sure!'

That's a house quote when it comes down to his homework from school or spellings.

So i guess a tripe check is worth it in the end, pushed in all the cables again and viola, new secondary harddrive installed....

Clever little smart arse he is, and he knows it!

Advice: Do as one preaches to the boy!

 

thats a funny story, good thing it worked out.
