Where's my slave gone?
Q, I recently connected an old 6GB hard disk as the slave to the main 70GB hard disk,but although it shows up in the bios,windows XP is unable to see it.What do i need to do?
A, Once a disk is recognised by your Bios,You'll need to partition and format it for use in windows.to do this in XP 'enter 'compmgmt.msc' in rom from the short menu,Click disk management and the right-hand panel will show a graphical view of the disks in your system.
You should now see your main 70GB and the secondary 6GB model.Right click the space in this smaller 6Gb disk and chose New partition,Then follow the instructions to partition and format it.Be careful that your'e partioning and formatting the correct disk,though,as this process will wipe it clean.
