ASUS P5W DH - Problems + Fixes Thread

P5W DH Deluxe Bios 1503
Intel 6600
Corsair XMS2 pc2-6400 5-5-5-12
ATi x1900xtx
Seagate Baracuda 320gb
Seasonic 600w

I have a question, I can't get my second Hard drive to detect in windows. My second hard drive is also a Seagate 320 gb hd. I am not doing a raid, I just want to use it for storage. It shows up in bios but it doesn't show up in windows. Although it does show up in windows installation, both drive that is. I have the main master hd connected to the red slot sata and the slave hd connected to the black slot sata.

When I go do "My computers" => "Manage" => "Storage" => "Disk Management" it doesn't show up at all, to let me assign a drive letter to it, so I can format it. I'm not exactly sure what to do.

That's strange that it doesn't show up under Disk Management. When I installed my 3rd SATA (first two were in RAID), that's how I had to format it/show it. But it does show up in the BIOS? How about under Disk Drives in the Device Manager?

If I recall correctly...I had the same issue...
With my circumstance , I had to set the Jmicron raid to normal mode to get the ide drive recognized in windows despite being recognized in bios .Did ya remember to install the raid drvers for both controllers with F6 method a windows install ?
