I installed a Maxtor Diamond Max10 160GB Sata 2 drive to my system. My other
drives are a PATA 120GB HD and PATA Sony DVDRW MB ASRock 939 dual VSTA AMD 64 3000+ 1GB RAM ATI Radeon 9650 AGP Terratec DMX6 Fire 24/96 Winfast 2000 PCI Vista RC1 After i formatted the drive it just vanished from exploere AND the drvice manager. I installed the drive as a secondary drive and set it up int the bios as SATA Mode (IDE Mode does the same thing). If I disable the sata driver and then re-enable it, the driver reapears, but only briefly. Can anyone shed any light on this? |

What shows up in Drive management? Maybe you need to assign a drive letter.

Brighton1967:
Johns' answer is correct, for a drive or partition to show up in explorer it has to have a drive letter. I also add a label to the drive or partition to relieve confusion. While in drive management you can assign a drive/partition letter and name without re-formatting the drive. Another possibility is that your motherboard or bios doesn't support SATA2 hard drives.

It vanishes from Disk Manager as well - it's gone!.....always detexcted by
the bios tho, no probs there. There are 2 partions on the driver, both with drive letters and names, and both formatted. |

I think it's a motherboard issue, or perhaps a bad drive......only one Sata 2
connecter on this board anyway... "zaxon" wrote: [..] |

I'm not familiar with the Maxtor, but Hitachi has a software program to
reset the drive to SATA I, and Samsung has a hardware setting. Have you tried to reset the drive to SATA I mode? "brighton1967" <brighton1967> wrote in message news:dffe [..] |
