Just installed a Seagate 250 GB SATA hard drive in bay 2 of my HP Compa
dv9000 series laptop. However, no matter what I do, VIsta Home Premiu
will not recognize the 2nd drive. It does NOT show up in Disk Manager i
the Computer Management console or in Explorer. If I go into Setup th
BIOS says that the drive is there. However it does'nt exist in Window
Vista. Does anyone have a clue as to why this is happening? Is there
BIOS tweak or what? Thanks for any and all advice
