| Re: Windows 7 can't access 2nd hard drive
I had the same problem and saw an answer on another forum which suggested connecting the 2nd HDD on the IDE 2 cable (the cable normally connecting CD/DVD drives. I tried this and the 2nd drive was revealed, I then connected the 2nd HDD to the IDE 1 cable again it was identified, best of luck.  |

| Re: Windows 7 can't access 2nd hard drive
I was having issues with my system so I opted to re-install Windows 7. I have 3 hard drives (one for my operating system/programs and the other two for documents and media), all of which are exactly the same as prior to the install. After the re-install Windows 7 wants to format the drive in order to use it. Clearly I don't want to do that as I have files on them. Any suggestions? |
