Turhaya Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 (edited) Hello.I've been having one heck of a time getting this to work by myself and finally broke down and have come here for wisdom. Here we go.I custom built this PC i'm running. Motherboard is ASUS A7N8X Deluxe. Initially I bought one MAXTOR 120GB SATA HDD. Later on I bought a second (exact same model).I do not wish to run these in a RAID configuration. What I want to do is run them as separate HDDs to maximize my storage capacity.How do I have to format the 2nd HDD in order for my boot drive to recognize it? As it is now they both have XP on them because of something I had to do a while back. I tried to boot it up like this a while back in hopes that I could manage the 2nd HDD and format it in Windows. I couldn't. Also formatted it a dozen other ways.I've done QUITE alot more than i'm mentioning here, but it is all a spaced out blur to me and the bottom line is that it does not work.I'll post more later if the info would help. Thank you. Edited September 7, 2005 by Turhaya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripken204 Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 you need to configure the jumpers on it, there should be a manuel that tells you how to. does it show up in the bios? if not then it is the jumpers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
