    Win7 Backup can't see secondary internal hd


    I am unable to use the Win7 image backup program because it doesn't see my second internal hard drive. I can see the drive in disk management. ( it shows up as SDATA1 D drive) and has plenty of room left 400 gigs out of 700 gigs.

Hey guys, I was wondering, I just added another sata HDD to my desktop. Is there anyway that I can set it to run ALL the time? I don't like the idea that it's on standby and every time I want to access it it needs to start up again. Tnx Regards
