    Sata Drive Not Detected By Windows 7


    Hey there,

    I recently bought two new sata3 drives and set them up in a raid stripe and installed win7, all work fine.
    I added an older sata2 drive, it shows in the bios but Windows 7 cant see the drive.. not in disc management or device manager...

    I had a similar problem with my other sata2 drive but that one showed up in device manager as a 'scsi' and after a few reboots suddenly showed up in disc man. but after disconnecting that to try the other drive its now got the same problem.

    any ideas??

    Are you connecting the sata2 drive to sata2 drive port on the mobo?

Well, this is probably no fault of Windows... Nevertheless is was a shock to notice that my backup drive was not detected by my Acronis rescue DVD, when I had sort of a crash... It does show up in the bios. The Acronis forum has nothing on this issue. Anything I may not have thought of guys and...
