Hello,
Due to my XP not booting up, I installed Win 7 to a new WD hard drive. Installation fine. Then I hooked up to SATA hard drives that I had been using for storage while on XP. I assumed that 7 would recognize them but nnnooooo. BIOS finds them, 7 finds them on dev mgr but when I clicked on "computer" they are not there. Then I went to disk management, it saw them but when I right-clicked on the partition every thing except "delete volume' was grayed out. I have read a lot of stuff but it all boils down to right-clicking on partition & choosing "assign new drive letter". I can't do that. What else can I do?
Help me, Obiwan, you're my only hope...
