If I unplug one of the original drives and plug the new one in say on sata 2 windows see's the new drive.

The new drive shows up in the bio's settings and shows up during boot it just doesn't show up in windows.

Anyone any idea's what's wrong ?

P5B Delux, win xp pro.
You need to format/partition the drive in order for windows to see/use it.

Goto your Control Panel
-Administrative Tools
-Computer Management
on left pane, click on Storage and then Disk Management

You should see your new drive there... probably unpartitioned. partition and format it.
