Hi there, trying to use 2 seagate ide harddrives on one ide cable. My computer doesnt show the slave drive as the D:\ drive as I would like it too. Both drives however show up in device manager. Im using windows 7. Both hard drives are seagate barracudas. And the jumpers have been set as ths manufacturer website says they should be for slave and master drives.

honestly, I haven't been able to check disk management. forgot about that utility *face palm* was up later than i would have liked to have been last night, eventually had to call it quits for the night and had to get up this morning cause i work 9am to 6pm. drive was listed in device manager, show volume showed all 250gb, however in the lower box all it showed was a 100mb system reserve. i believe it should be formatted, the slave use to be a 2nd hard drive in the same pc and worked fine, only difference was is that in that set up the primary was sata. and now im attempting to use an ide master and slave drive set up but the MoBo only has 1 IDE legacy port.
