Multiple Hard Drive Debacle
I have an extensive homemade dual boot rig. Windows 7 & Leopard.
Problem on the windows side of the world.
I have four internal sata hard drives and two esata drives.
The problem drive is a seagate barracuda 7200.12 1TB.
The operating system is on a 1.5tb seagate barracuda that is partitioned.
One of the seagate barracuda 1TB internal hard drives will not show up at all in windows while the esata drives are connected and or the other seagate barracuda 1TB drive. The esatas are 1TB fantom drives.
I have no raids the disk simply will not show up. I tried changing it to drive Y so that wouldn't be an issue but still will not mount at all in the presence of the others.
The mac drive, WD, is not an issue.
I have had all the components working for sometime other than this hard drive and simply forgot about it. Cause lets face it setting up a dual with all the pieces working just the way you want takes some time and I was happy without it for a while but now it just irks me.
I have already tried different cables both power and sata.
I have waded around in computer management but no progress.
I mean on the cool side it is like an invisible secret drive Just a real pain to access.
