where's my sata drive? help please

[carrick]

installed my nforce2 drivers, loaded drivers for the sata drive thru the xp F6 process.

device manager shows...

- SCSI and RAID controllers

- D347PRT SCSI Controller
- Silicon Image Sil 3112 SATARaid Controller

status states both are working correctly.

In computer management - storage - disk management - only my IDE and its 3 partitions are shown. i was told the sata would show up here.?

help please.

In disk administrator it may not show as being 'online', you may have to 'reactivate' the volume perhaps, if its not there *at all* then post back

is the drive being detected in the bios and is the sata enabled in the bios


also is the disc listed in the hard disc drives section of device manager ? and listed as a scsi drive ?

hey guys, ta for the replies...

@marcus, i checked Computer Management - Storage - Disk Management. Only Disk 0 (my 80GB WD) and CD-ROM 0 (my DVDROM) are shown.

@wod, checked bios (press delete process), the only place i can see scsi is 3rd boot device, i selected this myself after i had installed the drivers. during boot only primary and secondary ide channels are detected. where do you enable scsi in boot menu?

also, Device Manager - Hard Drives only shows my western digital.
