Missing 1 HDD and 1 DVDrom, not in device manager Stevie V 12.07.2007 17:04:02 I installed x64 on a secondary hard drive last night and now I cant see one of my 3 HDDs and one of my DVD drives. I found all x64 drivers for my motherboard and have them installed, all the devices in Device Manager are now working properly. Both missing drives ARE detected by the BIOS and on POST. Both missing drives ARE visible when I boot XPx32 from the primary drive. Both missing drives are NOT listed in device manager or "Disk Management" utility. The 3rd (missing) HDD is attached to the embedded 3rd party Promise IDE/RAID controller as a Stand-alone drive and is detected in BIOS, on POST and in XPx32. The x64 drivers for the promise controller are installed, and device manager tells me they are working properly. Can anyone help me gain use of these two rogue drives in XPx64? Thanks

Is the controller visible in Device manager? The issue with Promise contollers is that RAID works OK, but standalone devices may not work. It's a problem with the drivers. -- Charlie. http://msmvps.com/xperts64 http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/profile/charlie.russel "Stevie V" <StevieV[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:06215732-C998-4367-9422-55EA9F70C259[ at ]microsoft.com...

Re: Missing 1 HDD and 1 DVDrom, not in device manager Stevie V 12.07.2007 23:48:01 The DVD is on Secondary IDE and the HDD is on the Promise IDE (my board has 3 IDE ports). I had no problems installing the HDD on the Promise IDE in XP-32, just had to enable it in the BIOS and it was pretty much plug and play.
