There is such a thing as providing too much information, the fact that your
keyboard lights up isn't really relevant to the problem
Have you tried to assign a drive letter using Disk Management?

Hello ALL,

Background:
I have a Sony VAIO VGC RA-710G (Liquid Cooled, Runs Silent); P4 3.2 EE/HT,
3GB PC3200 RAM, ATI 1600XT 512MB GDDR 3, Vista Ultimate 32-Bit, Seagate
500GB
16MB Burst Internal (Ultra ATA), Western Digital 750GB External, Both @
7200RPM, Sony DVD/CD DL R/RW +/-, LG DVD/CD R/RW +/- Lightscribe, Logitech
G15 (Keyboard Illuminates and has a small LCD Screen), Bose Companion 5
5.1
Dolby Digital USB Speakers, Acer AL 2216W 22" WS LCD Screen and a Power
Supply of 350:

Situation:
Rather than having my original HD just sitting around collecting dust, I
have decided to add it to the system as the Internal Slave HD. The HD is
a
Hitachi Deskstar 250GB @ 7200RPM. As noted above, this will be the "3rd"
HD
for this system, 2 internal and 1 external.

Problem / Question:
The HD (The add-on internal) is recognized prior to Boot into Windows. It
is
recognized in the Device Management area. It is recognized in the Admin
Tools
Computer Management area as an "Online" Drive, where it has been formatted
and partitioned. HOWEVER, it is NOT recognized by "My Computer", its a NO
Show in that area! There are NO error codes for system messages coming up
indicating a problem.

So how can it appear in every area, except that one? I'm Baffled, Someone
show me the light...

Joey
