Just placed a SATA drive into a Vista Ultimate desktop. I have a total of
three (3) SATA drives yet to be introduced to the system ranging from 120 to
500GB in addition to the 400GB EIDE primary drive. The drive is seen in:
BIOS, Device Manager, Computer Management-Disk Management... [All Space
unallocated], but not seen in 'My Computer'. In past times, I would see the
next available alphabet letter automatically appear. The local help option
leads me to a technet page that discusses the creation of volumes, Master
Boot Record, GUID Partition tables. The link goes to a Technet site that
mentions disk management options for a number of Operating Systems but not
Vista. My intention is to use this drive for storage and possibly
applications. I would like to cultivate my knowledge of disk management
options for Vista. Guidance sought
