The HDD of my old PC P4 1.8mhz was damaged and it was replaced with a new one formatted with XP-SP2 V3 as OS system. I also installed a Primary Slave Drive (HDD) but it was not been able to perform neither can be seen on My Computer. The said Slave HDD can be seen on Bios set-up or during system start-up it was detected. Any one please help. Thanks

Is the primary slave drive jumpered correctly?

Also, is the slave drive formatted with a ntfs or fat32 filesystem?

Yes, it was jumpered correctly. This slave drive was working perfectly when the old primary drive was ok.

Ah, then maybe the Primary MASter is setup in single-drive or cable select mode.

What is the make/model of both of these HDD's ???

The jumper settings have to both be correct for proper IDE, MAS/SLA settings to work
