I have a SATA NTFS hard disk on an XPe system that is recognized correctly as
D:

However a different NTFS SATA hard drive on the same system on the same
channel doesn't show up in explorer. This drive does show up in the BIOS.

Does anyone have an idea why one disk is recognized by XPe and the other
not. Both drives were formatted on a separate system.?

Thanks,

Formating a drive on a seperate system might be a problem. There is an old
issue with the ATA, that if you don't format the drive in the same system
the tracks and sectors are off. The same maybe true for SATA.
