Vista only detects 1 HDD
Ive used this setup for years on XP and had no troubles, but installed vista
recently and cannot get vista to detect my second SATA hdd, i have and 80gb IDE which i run windows off, and 2 sata 300gig hdd's i use for storage previously both worked fine, but now only one will show up. eventually i found that if i go into the raid setup one says it is "reserved". if i turn that hdd into a JBOD it will then work in windows, but the other hdd will become reserved and not show up in windows any help would be appreciated |

Hi,
Check with the motherboard manufacturer for chipset driver updates, as this is the likely problem. It may also require a BIOS update. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org "Velian" wrote in message ...
