Re: Slave disk missing

It is most likely a ownership/permissions issue due to the drive being swapped to the new system.
Do a google for taking ownership of a drive and you will find several references to help you.

I presently have exactly the same issue.

Took my old IDE HDD out of the old computer - works fine in the old computer. Put it on as a
slave drive in my new system running XP and it doesn't show up in explorer or my computer, so I
can't seem to use for storage.

It does however show up in device manager as functioning correctly and shows up in the start-up
protocol's etc.

There is nothing wrong with connection cables or the HDD itself. The old HDD has two partitions
on it.

When I have installed a slave under Windows 2000, it recognised them fine and assigned a drive
letter.
Any known fixes out there?
