Hello,

A few months back my boot drive died on me. I got another drive, reinstalled XP and off I went again. Well, I have a SATA hot swap drive bay. Before the crash it worked fine. I don't remember ever installing any driver or utility for it when I first installed it (when I originally built the system). Well, it stopped working, kind of. If I shut down XP, swap the drive and turn the system back on it will see the different drive. So it swaps, just not hotly. So, what might be going on? I did not modify anything in my BIOS. The only thing different in my setup is having to manually download the XP updates since MS has stopped it's support. I am at a loss.

Thank you in advance for any help.

Thank you very much! I thought I had done this. Apparently I did not. I have a Gigabyte GA-M57SLI-S4 motherboard. I grabbed the driver off the website, installed it, re-started and it works like a charm. I hate it when I over think things. Thanks for the help!
