Multiple SATA Drives and Vista 32 Ultimate.
I have a wierd issue with Vista. At the moment I have 3 hard drives and one
DVD That I am trying to use. Sometimes Vista actually reads the drive and I was able to format and save items to the number 3 500GB drive but when I reboot Vista forgets it. There is always an item in device manager that says unknown device on volume manager and no matter what I do it will not install drivers for this. Does Vista have a problem with high GB drives or with more than 2 hard drives? Would seem odd especially since I've had more on older versions and I do have a 100% genuine ultimate version. Any time I try to do anything in Disk management it says the information is out of date and will not go any further. I've tried multiple ways of getting the drive to install but no matter what I do it's a roll of the dice if Windows will recognise it or not. My hard drive setup is Seagate 320 GB for C(Windows), 400GB for programs and a 500GB Maxtor That I'm trying to install mainly as a backup. I'm running a 3.4 dual core Intel CPU with 4GB of ram and crossfire enabled Video cards. I've tried diffrent controllers as I have 2 diffrent SATA onbard controllers and even tried a 3rd pci controller. Needless to say this has been expensive and am looking for any solution. Anyone have suggestions? |
