Hard Disk went missing after installing vista.... Help
i have 2 SATA HDD in my system, was using XP without any problems. After i've
installed vista, only one is displayed. The weird thing is the "missing" HDD appears in my system bios and is even in the "Device Manager", but i cannot choose the "populate" option nor make make it appear under "Computer". Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks |

Did you take a look at Disk Manager? You may need to delete and then create
a new volume, which implies you have a backup from which you can restore the volume. -- The personal opinion of Gary G.

If the controller is on the motherboard, you may need to check for updated chipset or motherboard drivers from the motherboard manufacturer or from your computer's manufacturer. If this is an add-in third party controller, you may need to check that manufacturer's website for updated drivers. -- Michael Solomon Backup is a PC user's best friend DTS-L.Org: http://www.dts-l.org/ |
