Help!!! I recently installed a new Western drive on my
Presario computer (4 years old) and amazingly, I got the
thing to work after several hours of crying and begging.
I later re-booted my computer and my new drive
disappeared. Originally, I could get it acknowledged on
the Belarc Advisor, but after re-booting, it even
disappeared from that listing. THEN, I fooled around some
more, re-booted, and the drive re-appeared on my WinExp
and everywhere else. Is there anyone out there who might
have a clue as to what is going on? I did run a Western
utility when I installed the drive but nothing in Disk
Manager. I read something about "intializing" the drive
but wasn't able to do that. I realize that this is a
confusting post but given the information I've provided
does anyone have a suggestion as to what is going on here
and what I need to do to solve this problem? Thanks.
 
Hello

How big is the harddrive and maybe you may have to update your
system Bios, what is the model or type of pc I know you gave the pc
name but which model, most compaqs should list a number on the pc
