Problem adding new drives

[mike]

Windows xp pro 64 bit
I am trying to add a new sata drive, the bios recognises it & windows
does too comes up with new hardware found followed by error from the
wizard " there was a problem installing this hardware followed by disk
drive name & model (I've tried this with a number of different makes &
models with the same result) an error occured during the installation of
the device The service cannot be started either because it is disabled
or because it has no enabled devices associated with it. If you then
click finish it just starts the whole thing again & again & again....


Help!

The system service "Logical Disk Manager Administration" may be
disabled or inhibited from running. Normally this service's start mode
is "Manual". You should check with Services.Msc that the service is
set correctly.

Good thought checked, both logical disk services & dependencies are all
ok, set to manual & started

Depends on which MB model youre running.If its intel,& if it has SATA &
RAID capabilities,then you should download the MATRIX hd mgr from Intel.
Its software would be far newer than anything windows offers currently,plus,
it will speed up youre data transfer rate.Even if you dont run RAID,matrix
will
run fine with a solo SATA,but RAID capability must be present..If RAID isnt,
go to run,type: diskmgmt.msc In msc,L.click on the new hd,go to actions,all,
locate & click "make active"...
