Hi!

I have a PC with a WD 250GB S-ATA disk as the main disk (Windows 2000
installed). I have now added a WD 120GB disk. This disk I can see in BIOS,
but when I boot into windows 2000 I can not see it (Not in the harddisk
setup utility in windows nor Partition Magic 8.0) I tried installing
windows 2000 on the 120GB and booted of that, then I saw the 250GB....

Anyone that can help me with this strange problem?

Mainboard : Asus P5AS2 Deluxe.
 
The size is reported correctly in bios. (120GB for the new one and 250 for
the "old" one) It's just that it is not visible or not detected by win2000
if I boot from the 250GB, if I boot of the 120GB both is visible. Problem is
that I have installed all my software and gotten teh 250 all up and running
as a want it to be. I thought I could use the 120GB as a data disk (MP3's
and stuff) and not have to reinstall all my software on the 120GB and use
the 250GB for data....

Any more tips?
