Problem Installing SATA Drive
Hey,
I just got a 300gb Western Digital SATA hard drive, and im having trouble getting it to work on my gigabyte K8NF-9 motherboard. Windows detected it and installed it, it said "device is installed and ready to use" but it is not in My Computer, it is actually in the "safely remove devices" list. I cannot access the drive, any ideas? Thanks.

Re: Problem Installing SATA Drive
Did you format it? I had a problem similar to yours with a 40GB IDE once. I installed it, windows and the BIOS detected it, but nomatter what I tried it wouldn't show up in My Computer or any other window. So I intalled partition magic, reformated the drive to NTFS, then it worked just fine.
