I finally have the system up and running, and it is a super-fast thing to
behold. HOWEVER...

I have 2 300GB SeaGate 7200 rpms in it, but Vista is only seeing 1, and
marking it at 127MB (not 137...). Here is the interesting part:

1.) My BIOS sees both disks at the correct size.
2.) Vista Device Manager lists both drives under Hard Drives
3.) "My Computer" sees 1 drive at 127mb.

Any thoughts?

Additionally, I cannot get the darn system to recognize my WD MyBook.

My other Vista system recognizes it no problem as a plug/play. This sytem
doesn't see it at all. But, the USD connection seems to be working for other
devices.

Thanks!
Scott

Open Disc Management, look for unallocated space on drive 0, format
unallocated space and assign it a drive letter. On drive 1, if unallocated,
format and assign a drive letter.
 
Can you enlighten use how you fix the problem with your HDD? I may help some
one else...
