PATA on ATA 133 - HDD Problem
« on: April 11, 2006, 08:04:35 AM »
First are PATA and ATA 133 the same ?

I got a new HDD yesterday. It shows up on BIOS and on Windows XP Media Center Device Manager but does not show on My Computer. I have SP2 installed

My motherboard - http://www.motherboard.cz/mb/gigabyte/8S661FXM-RZ.htm



Anyone help me out ? Thanks in advance

Did you partition and format the new drive?

If you right click on the drive in Device Manager, do you have an option to Enable?
