Hi!i removed the jumper pins,cause in the manual it says that they are not needed.I'll wager a nickel that, despite what the manual says, if you apply the jumpers properly, things will be resolved;>}

OK, im guesing the first drive is your O/S (so its formatted).

Is the second drive actually formatted ??

/Control Panel/Administrative Toosl/Computer Management/Disk Management

Does the drive show up as unformatted??

if so..format the drive ..assign Drive letter.

yeah thats probably it. If they both show up in the BIOS, the next step is to check the management console's "disk management" pane.

see if the drive is set up.
