I recently installed a new slave drive and it's acting different than what I did before. I've installed the same kind of hard drive as a slave before and it worked perfectly, but this one won't show up in My Computer. I've done everything the same but it just won't show up.

It's like a second drive. There's two main kinds. Master and slave (funny I know :P ) and theres a little clip on each hard drive to specify wether it's a slave or a master and if it's set to the master, the computer will start up using that hard drive, if it's a slave, it will process it, but it won't start up with it (boot with it). I don't know it too well myself :p

should I make a long tutorial about setting up a computer/ adding to a computer that will take me about 3 hours to type up and no one will read it? :|

hehe when all else fails, make a partition :)

Unless someone doesn't have the jumpers set up correctly.

Was that HDD set up on a Windows Server OS? I don't know if this is true for Server 2k, but at least, for 2003, you usually have to tell it manually to mount a second hdd's partition.

If you're talking about the little clip that you slide in or out to tell if it's a save or master, that's out, it says it on the hard drive.
