2nd Internal Hard Drive
Right click on My Computer, select Manage. On the next screen, click on

If so, can you assign it a drive letter? -- Cari (MS-MVP) Windows Technologies - Printing & Imaging http://www.coribright.com/windows "twrenfroe51" wrote in message ...

2nd Internal Hard Drive
I don't know about twrenfroe51, but I'm having similar issues. When I
initially installed Vista (Ultimate 32bit) I was able to see my second HD and installed several programs to it. Now, when I boot it it is not assigned a drive letter. In Computer Managment it sees the 2nd physical drive, but properties after right clicking on the drive is greyed out and the only option is to delete the partition. HD 1: WD Raptor 150 SATA, C: is Primary Partition. HD 2: Segate 500GB SATA, D: was primary partition. I am concerned that Vista won't accept a primary partition on the second hard drive, but why did it work at first and then stop? Is there any way to get it back without having to delete the partition and re-partitioning the second drive wholly as an extended partition? Any help greatly appreciated.
