hi
few days back i have completely formated my hard disk with the help of seagate seatool.Then i have installed windows xp sp3. i have made 4 partitions at that time ie. c,d,e,f. After that i have installed windows 7 now i cant see my hdd in disk management or in device manager. both device manager & disk management are showing me my external drives like pen drive. so what may be the problem. plz help me.
Can you post a screen shot Disk management & Device manager?

I have exact same problem, Using win7 and Xp on the same macahine. I've been working on it for 2 days now and can't find a solution and so far have'nt came accross anyone in any forum who has encounterd this. The weird thing about this one is that win7 backup rejects my backup device but reconises my hard disk, yet disk manager does the opossite. I suspect the conflict may be that to run xp on win7 drive you have to set your hdd in bios to compatabillity mode, and also that to run 2 OS's on one disk can cause a drive letter conflict if sharing files between both OS's from a third partition. If i get to the bottom of it I'll let you know or if you have found a workaround or anyone else can help please put me out of my misery.
oh btw if your desprate to back up your machine as i am, you can use the XP backup console as an emergancy messure, you are backing up the fault aswell but maybe there will be a fix in the near future.
You need to supply the disk management screenshots as requested earlier.

Welcome wd5fdl,
This thread is about 6 months old, so for your problem we need as much info as you can provide to us. Tell us about your hardware. How many drives do you have? are they IDE or SATA ? How about a screen snip of Device manager, any Yellow Exclaimation marks ?
the problem is in windows 7 pro 64
everything is fine in the device manager
all drives show in my computer...
now i know there is a command in
the command promped to change the cd drive
drive letter but i dont remember the syntaxed
there was a website the had the answer
but i cant find it anymore... had the same problem before but dont remember what i did to fix it i think i just reinstallrd window 7
