Usually only one can be MASTER.

Hello Guys,

I bought some days ago a new hard disk for my computer. I've look in
my
Bios and the hd is detected, I also have format And Initialized it
from
the disk management page, but when I open my computer windows from
the
Start Windows button the HD never show up. (window Explorer does the
samething)

At the beginning i was wondering if it was a problems, that both of
my
HD are detected as master in Disk management.


My First Disk is a Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 (500Go)

The one I've bought some days ago is a Western Digital WD5000AACS
(500Go) (and this is the one i can't see in my computer option)


So what i must do now? I want to be able to use it but I don't know
what to do!


(More Information)

My computer is an AMD ATHLON 64 x2 Dual-Core Processor 6000+

and i'm running it with Window Vista Home Premium....

I've took the NTFS format and I've took the letter B for the disk....

It was only giving the choice to use the Letter A,B,E,F,G
